[DaveKile]

Why not...I might get in on the action...depends on the weather and my bourbon supply 😉

Well maybe I should also add what are you drinking tonight?

Hook, thread and one feather (well, two feathers with the pheasant back feather and the attached philo feather). Yep, send it past them and they will eat it.

That's lovely, Jim.

Tied princes at a fly tying social I've been dipping a toe in (pic once I was back home at my yellow wall).

As someone who mostly fishes solo, a group of anglers in a room is a very interesting thing. Tons of knowledge, but also every neurosis under the son. Fun times!

Tying up some soft hackles. I’ve been looking to fish them some more and am trying to keep it simple.

I seem to be on a minnow streamer kick.
This JT style on a 7041 size 10 hook, led wire, white yarn with white marabou, orange thread and UV the head.

How many of each does every typically tie up of each type fly? I shot for 9 or some multiple of 3 more than that. I heard something before that stuck with me. One for me, one for thee and one for the tree. that is why I do multiples of 3. Basically one I fish, one I give away, and one I lose.

I know there may not be a multiple of three show in the pic, i a still tying they up and curing some UV

If it’s a new pattern that I want to try I typically tie 3 to start. Same theory as you have.

Depends, usually a dozen. I'm just starting to tie for warm water. I finished the first body of a frog pattern that I tie on the Ahrex swim bait hook last night. I already have some tied on the 2/0 swim bait hook and on the size 2 hook. I picked up a bag of the hooks in size 4 at the Fly Tying Symposium back in November. Plan to tie at least a half dozen. They'll look something like this when I finish coloring them and adding eyes and legs.
