John better watch it or you'll never get out of being hooked on the fly rod.

I used to build and fly RC planes also. Expensive hobby!

I gave up a micro hobby, sometime back. I used to build and fly model planes, but
took up fishing when I inherited all my dads stuff.
I have missed a sit down hobby, ever since, and fly tying
ought to fulfill that desire.
Knowing Greg's prowess at catching, I'm betting those Jersey
gills won't know what hit em... fahgeddaboudit!!

I have tied a few of these beaded nymphs but no foam bugs or flies really yet . That's coming in my future I guess . I got some Greg Mc Williams flies that are so nicely done I want to see many bluegill mangle them so I can get back to him and tell him proudly the Gills love to kill his creations.

Having now given in to the Dark Side, and tried tying flies....
Well, any brother that makes a gift of his flies is a saint!

Yes he is and I'll tell him you said so! He'll be happy to hear that!
