I attended the Texas Flyfishers fly tying seminar today and had a great time. Unfortunately there seemed to be more tiers than visitors while I was there. I learned a lot and even got some free flies. While there one of the tiers told me that he always checks his new flies at a clear pond near his home. I told him that I did the same thing and further on in the conversation we found out that we both use the same pond but have never crossed paths. He gave me a Borski slider that he was tying which I much appreciate. I also met a young man about 15-16 years old that makes his own fly rods and was a tier at the show. This young man has already set some records in fly fishing. Maybe he is the new Lefty Kreh in the making.
