I just joined a new group, Creative Fly Tiers Association, we meet at a local pub once a week to tie flies, drink beer, and tell tales.  Our goal is to push our tying skills by introducing a new pattern each week and then pushing that pattern to the limits of our imagination.  There are even a few members of this board on the membership list.  I will be sure to share some of the fruits of our creative labors.

Here is one of the flies that we learned from a local pro tier.  Mine are not in the same league as his but give me time.

Only in the shadow box, weird.
