Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on June 28, 2016 at 8:09am: I'LL BE PROUD TO BE A MEMBER OF THIS GROUP SLIP .....THANKS FOR THE INVITE.

Comment by Allen Morgan on June 13, 2016 at 5:07pm: Ok, I'm in!

What's the saying? "There's nothing new under the sun in fly-tying?"

I'll try and repost the SBS I did of my Electric Chicken jig. Might do some others as well.

Comment by Bruce Tomaselli on June 13, 2016 at 4:02pm: I agree. There really aren't many new flies, just variations on the old, but it's fun trying.

Comment by jim cosgrove on June 13, 2016 at 3:58pm: very few flies or jigs are completely unique.most are just modified versions of someone else's tie,and they probably got inspired by someone else.i really like how flies especially are public domain.very rarely see a patent or copyright on a fly.but if you get every component for every cool fly you see you would be broke fast

Comment by Bruce Tomaselli on June 13, 2016 at 3:54pm: Hey Slip Sinker,

This is a great idea. I have one I'd like to post as soon as I get a photo.

Thanks for starting this database.

Comment by Leo Nguyen on June 13, 2016 at 10:53am: Oh wait, static discussion is not programmed into this interface. Crap. Go ahead and posted the How to Post right into the group's summary.

Comment by Leo Nguyen on June 13, 2016 at 10:48am: Sounds good. Make sure this is posted as the static discussion on How To Post a Tie.

Comment by Slip Sinker on June 13, 2016 at 10:44am

so keeping it simple:

one discussion per fly
add a photo first showing the creation
then text following describing your creation... history, motivation, full description
maybe showing a sequence of steps in tying etc
then there will be a history of comments following

does this sound ok with everyone?
