I have no idea what planet I was on when I originally wrote this. Thanks for the correction Fin. I edited my original post.

The demo at Royal Treatment Fly Fishing went well. The first fly I tied ended up being the most complex. A young lady wanted a hair bug in pink, purple, and turquoise. Unfortunately for me, I have no turquoise deer hair in stock. We compromised, I blended fl blue with chartreuse deer hair. The result was visually pleasing.

The attendance for the event was a little low, but that is fine with me. It gives me a chance to help resolve deer hair spinning/stacking issues that some folks were hoping I could address for them.

I will be tying at Black Heron Fly Fishing this upcoming Saturday. If you are considering attending, could you please let John know. He will be serving burgers, and would like to know how much hamburger to purchase prior to the event.

Well done. I like the creative color combo.

I ended up tying flies for about seven hours at Black Heron Fly Fishing on Saturday. There were not a lot of attendees, but there was a lot of laughter. The weather cooperated and the burgers were tasty. The odd thing was that I did not take any photos. Hopefully everyone that attended walked away with a fly. I hope there are many more demos on the horizon.
