Hi everyone, I have a little delema. there is a fly tying competition coming up, but i'm a little nervous about entering it. I have been tying since I was four (I'm 28 now), but I still do not think I'm good enough to enter. My buddies, who I taught to tie, have all entered a fly, but as the deadline approaches I feel kinda worried. see, I have never tied traditionally before, that is with set proportions. I just tie what I feel the fish will bite, and away I go. I guess I feel I'm just not that good. any suggestions? has anyone ever felt like this or am I just being paranoid? ed Morning Ed! I started tying a couple of years ago more for a stress buster. I used to bring my stuff into my office at the time and WOW!...eased the tensions! Now it's all for fun in seeing what i can come up with. What puts the fun meter over the top is when trout AND smallmouth go after the same pattern!!! Simply amazing! Competion tying? Not for me..the fun would go away, then i'd have to be a couch potato again...nope!! Just my thoughts..Tom in VT
