I have to chime in on this on too guys. This list contains some of the best people i have ever talked with. If it be discussion on the list, off list, or even in the chat room (I have yet to meet anyone from here yet in person) I always enjoy the conversation. Many times i have been up till 1 or 2 in the morning talking with the guys from here. I have been tying a few years now, and i still have yet to see anyone other tahn me tie a trout fly. But just talking with you guys and working past my difficulties has moved me farther than i would ha1ve ever expected. The flies that tony sent me to photograph are on my wall and will go with me when i move to my own home a few years down the road. I cannot believe the generosity of the list and friendliness of the list. thanks guys, if you ever drop by hillbilly-ville pay me a visit and we'll wet a line.
