Haha nice, i've tied a few, but I'm kinda in the same boat. I'm hoping this swap will actually motivate me to (attempt to) learn how to fish em.
 
Was my same thought as well Jay.

When I walked in your front door, your wife told me you were crabby today. I said "Today?" You were cussing up a storm at the bench tying those flies.

Relax - they look just fine. I was just busting your chops today.
 
bobbymo, hutinfool and joe from philly, flies are here!

I'm thinking about changing my pattern.

Does CDC count as a soft hackle?
 
got a pattern in mind wsender? if you feel it is a soft-hackle pattern go for it.

JH
 
yes similar idea anayway in that its a bunch of stringy fibers that wil collapse when wet and hold air bubbles ie go for it

@ quillfly,

If you sent flies with a tag line, then they are here!! Nice ties, bet that pattern would have worked for me yesterday!!

no problem

Hey all,
Good news is, my wife gave birth to a new baby boy on Monday. Bad news is, he was 2 weeks early and I was going to spend this week knocking out my flies. I'm literally sitting here tying in between giving him a bottle. I have 11 knocked out so far and should have the rest done by tomorrow. I'll get them in the mail by Fri at the latest, so I might be a day or two late. Sorry for the delay.
 
Congrats dubthethorax!! An new fishing buddy. That is cool.

 
thanks. Flies are done. If I can get both kids napping at once and my wife is calm enough, I'll run out to the post today.
