Well.. I finished up 25 GRHEN flies LOL.. 15 to send to the swap, and 10 to
fish with.. I actually tied 27, but I only had a 25 pack of the #10 Nymph
hooks I was using, so I had to re do 2 LOL.. They are not beautiful, and
they may not even be pretty, but I feel like I learned a LOT about this fly
in tying all these, so that is worth a LOT to Me, Chuck

ROTFLMAO, Chuck, If I had a nickel for every time I have done that exact
thing, or one of my many other "Oops", I would almost as rich a
Trump.....;-)

Jimi: Everybody.. Have ya'll ever had this problem??? I even wrote myself
a
NOTE and put it right in front of my vise LOL.. Talk about getting
Halfheimers LOL... I am tying my GRHEN's for the swap... I took about 25
hooks, and wrapped .015 lead on the shanks.. I then lay down a thread
base..I then tie in the tail.. I then tie in my gold tinsel thread that I
am
using for the gold ribbing, I then dub the body.. I then tie in the
turkey
feather for the wing case.. I then dub in the thorax.. I then bring the
turkey feather forward and tie off the wing casing.. I then made a head
and
cut the thread... i then put head cement on then head.. I then take the
fly
out of the vise, only to see that danged gold ribbing hanging there
ROFL...
I have done at least 12 flies like this.. I mean, it is not a total waste
as
I just put those in my fly box to use for gills this Spring.. But I'm
trying
to tie the flies for the swap ...PROPERLY LOL, Chuck
