... and in true "me" fashion, I couldn't possibly just tie some flies at a table. Nope, I had to make my own fly tying station, stain it, coat it, and then start tying. What can I say? For me, that's all part of the enjoyment.
Station:
I got to use a lot of left-over wood from when I built the bar. Had to buy some finishing nails and some of the smaller pieces of wood to make the sections towards the rear.
The tool holder (black piece of wood with holes in it) was some left over wood from our cabinets as we redid the kitchen this past year.
Here it is all set up.
And here are some of my first flies. I've only made about 8 so far. I'll spare you the first couple that are just gnarly.
The Harrison Jones (Me)
Chewbacca (Mike C. Dubbs)
Zsa Zsa Gabor (Jay)
Goldfinger (Jay)
The Green Linguine
Black Mamba
The Commy Bastard!
Only just wooly buggers for now. Soon going to be trying some Hares Ear nymphs, as well as the Pheasant Tail. With those 3 under my belt i'll be able to tie 90% of the flies I use in a year.
