Title: Rusty's Fly Tying Adventure
Tags: Fly Fishing, Fly Tying
Blog Entry: Hello all, I just started my adventure last Tuesday with a beginning fly tying class at Bentleys Outfitters in Bloomington Minnesota. I took the plunge before the class and bought a vice (Renzetti Traveller) and some materials to tye the first fly in class (wooley Bugger) the week before my class started. I like to dive into new things and give things a go before instruction, I like to call it pre-work. My first Wooly Bugger looked well wooly but not in the correct manner but when I got to class the following week it helped along with all the web education I did before class. I am currently tying two Beginner approved flies out of the Winter Fly Tyer magazine for 2007. CDC Emerger and Elk Hair Emerger on page 48 and 49. I will include pictures in the next week with the feedback I receive from my instructor Andy Roth. The adventure just began and already I am having way too much fun along with day dreams of fishing on that remote silent trout stream some where deep in my mind. Thanks for reading and cheers, Rusty Lane
