Wow! I love all the flies. Congrats on your award and to your son also. I love the idea of a "fun fly" category. After seeing your fun flies maybe the "old coot" will be over ruled next year. I'll have to show this thread to my DH. He's been a fly fisherman for many years and ties his own. He taught me how to fly fish when we started dating although I haven't gotten in to fly tying (yet). Usually when he's in his "fishing room" tying, I'm in my sewing room quilting. Works out well! :lol:
