Way to go and it's great to put a face to your name.

You will notice that I used Hans' Variant of Baillie's Spider didn't you. Easier for the beginning tier I think. That was made at the Albany, OR Tying Expo this past spring. I was nervous as all get out when they turned on the camera.

After tying at a couple shows this spring I've found a lot of people interested in tying wingless wets so I am happy to oblige them.

I Agree, I think you did a fine job. I noticed how you broke the thread just to make us all feel normal.--Thanks

RON,
I JUST GOT DONE WATCHING YOUR VIDEO ON "YOUTUBE". VERY IMPRESSIVE! YOU HANDLE THREAD AND MATERIALS QUITE WELL. I AM ALSO IMPRESSED WITH THE HOOK SELECTION. FOR ME, THE SHAPE AND FRAME OF THE IRONS WE CHOOSE CONSTITUTES A VERY IMPORTANT FEATURE OF THE FINAL LOOK OF THE FLY AT HAND. I ALSO THINK WE TEND TO FISH THESE PATTERNS WITH A LITTLE MORE CONFIDENCE WHICH GOES A LONG WAY IN STRIKING GOLD....OR SILVER AS IT WERE.
CAN WE SEE MORE VIDEOS OF YOUR TYING IN THE NEAR FUTURE?
IMPRESSED IN THE DEN,
DOUGSDEN
Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.

Thanks fellas. I was so petrified doing that one, I don't think I'll be getting in front of a camera again. Tying at a show is one thing, the camera is something else. Ruined my image of myself. I kept thinking "Who is that old guy?".
