I stand corrected. I will continue to tie to fish, but I may be a bit more diligent about it:) J

I will be a bit more meticulous in the future. Some of us tie flies for fishing. Some tie flies to show their skill. Some tie flies as pure art. Some tie flies as innovations. Some tie absolute minimalist flies that are deadly fish catchers. ALL types are great for swaps and are a delight to receive. Keep tying flies that catch fish. since some of us like me who want to see those so we can learn to be 'catchers' instead of just 'fishers'. I commented on some of the flies that boggle my mind. I won't be tying any of those - too small. Ad I definitely wont be fishing any of that type (couldn't see to thread the eye!). However, I was tickled to get every fly in the swap. In fact, I don't know of any swap that I've ever been in that all of the flies taught me something. I'm sorry, but your apology is not accepted, since there was nothing to apologize for.
