@DUBBN, thanks for that. I'll definitely post some others. I tie a ton of traditional north country patterns so the soft hackle section is probably where I'll be most active. I've become absolutely obsessed with the flymph. The thought process, the history, the idea of painstakingly trying to emulat...

Thanks for the kind words! While it's nice to be in company of such like minded people as fat as more natural and traditional/historical tying...I don't think my skills are on par with the rest of you all. I'll probably just lurk in the shadows for a while. I absolutely love the content here tho!

Very nice! Tying a damsel built as a traditional wet fly is not something I've ever seen or considered. Very cool.
