Good work elevatorman!

I crushed the trout with a fly 3 weeks ago. The guy next to me with powerbait was not very happy. lol

I hear ya. Fly fishing is fairly new to me but i have been doing pretty well. About to start tying my own flies as well so hopefully that doesn't bring my game down. lol I am definitely ready to toss the waders on and catch some fish! Trout, turkey tautog up next in the line up as well as a few bass tourneys. Good luck to you.

I've been tying for a few years now.  I tie most of my own subsurface flies.  However, small dry flies, like those used at the Swift, are very hard to tie the proportions properly.  I end up with a size 18 hook and size 8 wings.  Over time its getting easier and easier.
