Beautiful workmanship...betting that takes many hours. Used to watch my Dad make flies when I was growing up, another time consuming hobby but incredible creations.

That is another thing I would love to learn to do in this life. It is one thing to catch a fish on store bought stuff, its a whole different feeling when its on or with something you made.
It was worth a shot. I noticed that wonky face though....so I’m assuming we are friends now and will be expecting two. One ultralight and one 6 or 7 foot medium action.

My next is probably going to be an 8' two piece heavy action catfish rod.

Years ago I used to have some of the flies he made...hopefully they’re still in a box somewhere. His fly tying days are over as his hands are no longer stable enough for it. I used to find it fascinating that he’d start with a bare hook and some scraps of fluff and feathers with thin line, turning it into some type of flying creature. One of my favorites looked like a small bumble bee.
