I started fly tying in late college around 1998-9 or so. I was absolutely clueless while thinking I knew what I was doing. Over the years I slowly learned and am still learning. After nickel and dimeing myself to death at the local fly shop an owner of the place asked me about coming to his house and tying with him. I jumped on the opportunity and it helped me immensely! His name was Jack Scifres who unfortunately has passed on.

I can't say enough for people who want to help others in their pursuit to know more. I also remember the other staff who would never offer to help but always offer something expensive. Here's to the people who are still neighborly and not looking to make a fast buck.

Good luck in this hobby and quit when it's not fun!
