Let the Fun Commence

Just heard my fly tying vise arrived at the local shop. Been anticipating this for a while -- now I can try out some of my newly acquired expertise on my own. Since learning to tie eggs the other night, I've been thinking up recipes all week. Hmmm -- cheese body, red spot, cream veil. Or maybe that spot needs to be purple? I even ordered a few additional colors, just to enable experimentation. Want to try one of my Manistee River favorites, the Jonny Ray Superman! And yes, it looks about like what you'd guess...

Also, in week one we tied some Green Caddis nymphs. I want to bang out a dozen or so of those before end of month trip to the UP.

This should be a cool and creative outlet!
