not good enough…

I’ve never been great at fly tying, in fact I tie just barely good enough to catch fish – sometimes. I have know people who tie flies with such fine detail that I find myself staring at the beautiful flies for a long time. Recently, I have been feeling pretty down looking into my fly box, wondering why my flies are so poorly tied, why I can’t get myself to spend more time perfecting a fly rather than just tying a bunch of ugly flies, and really wondering if I will ever get to tie creative flies like those who I admire. Sometime a really nice fly becomes inspiration, but these days – it’s just a reminder how crappy my own skills are. I know this is nothing much to write about, but right now, I feel so humbled I did.

    I never thought your flies were poorly made. In fact, I am sometimes amazed how colorful your flies are!

    tightly tied flies are made to catch fisherman not fish. That fly looks fish as f&%k!

    gee whiz guys --I feel all warm and fuzzy - remind me to give you a hug next time I see you.

    That fly is what I'm impressed with...look at the bass popper I loaded under it...some talented fly tiers out there.
