I am kinda new to this fine site. I have spent most of my time here so far in the food and recipe forum. Outdoor cookin is a passion of mine. Another is fly tying and when I can get out to the creeks, fly fishing. I have been tying about ten years. I am still learning. I like to dink up my fly boxes a bit. I use colored sharpies on the foam liner in the lid. If you don't mind I would like to share a few pics here.

These boxes look familiar. NGTO maybe? Nice ties. Stealth Bomber is great. Yellow one works best for me.

Those shrimp look GREAT........ I can just see one drifting in the current under a light at night. The Specks would slay them.....

I used to tye a crawfish pattern very similiar to the last picture. I used hen pheasant feathers for the claws. They "naturally" look like a pincher.

That is a nice bunch flies you've got tied up!!
Were those your Fatties I saw here somewhere? They sure did you familiar
Roger Caylor is showing up down this way soon, he is moving to the Panhandle, if you have not heard, and he is going to get a salt series of his fine flies going down this way as well

Paymaster

Probably so. I am everywhere!
