Toy,
I thought I was tying right handed, but wasn't
sure. It doesn't really matter to me as I
haven't had any problem with things like my whip
finishes coming lose or things like that -- AND
my flys catch fish! I cannot complain about that!

Gary,
You are tying what I would say "right handed". This
is normally the way a right handed person would tie.
It makes no difference, tie the best way you can.
Just enjoy what you do.
