I took fly tying years ago at Oven Park with Tom Broderidge and had a blast. I have not pulled out all of my gear in a long time, but I may just have to get the ole box down and get a few salties tied for the fun of it. You may have just "seaduced" me into dusting the "Fly Tying" gear off. Gracias.

Nice looking red headed seaducer. It is a bit of a shame you hid all of that purty rootbeer estaz under all the hackle. Another bang up job on the fly tying class pictures.
