That's neat! I would love to meet Joyce I miss her input on the list. She taught me a lot when I started tying. It's really nice to have a production tyer that's willing to share their tricks of the trade. My original teacher was a production fly tyer and I learned a few tricks watching him tie that I wouldn't have thought of. Regards, Deb

It was fun to finally meet Joyce after all of these years! Although there were only four or five tyers demonstration tying in a booth set up by the SLC chapter of Trout Unlimited (Stonefly Society) it felt like a mini-sowbug and I learned a few new techniques and patterns and spent a good deal of my day there. In addition were the demonstrations from the usual luminaries so all in all it was a good day.

Still have friends coming buy and staying at my house. Several list members will be coming by to fish today. Several were here yesterday.
