As we were preparing the yaks he opened the bed cover on his truck to reveal a fly tying desk. He asked what I thought of it and I told him it was very cool. He said "good because it's yours". My birthdays not until next month but I grabbed it up anyway. I tied on it all weekend and I think I'll keep it. By the way, he caught all the fish. I got skunked.

We also have an upcoming fly tying contest with a very cool prize for the winner as well. Stay tuned... http://www.thefiberglassmanifesto.com/

Any takers??? I've been planning to try and organize a "Traditional Winged-Wet Fly" swap. Thought it might help inspire the participants to fish wets. Also, these old patterns are fun to tie, and beautiful to behold. But, I'm waiting on a back-ordered shipment of tying materials from H+H, so I' haven't said anything yet.

I am in the process of building a portable tying bench for the S.R.R.A. December fly tying event for a door prize. Just finished putting the last coat of varnish on I hope to assemble it tomorrow if you don't mind I will post a photo when complete. Must be the time of the year for tying benches .

A buddy years ago had a roll-top desk for tying, you could make a real mess then just pull the top down to hide it all from the wifey. Was a great set up, if I ever have the space I will look to purchase one. Until then I may take some cues from the one pictured in this thread. Also, Count me in for another swap if you guys have one. I do a good march brown wet and could stand to work out a few other traditional patterns. Tying contest? Not with some of the tiers we have here. I value my self esteem!

Just returned back from a week away at a conference in 'Vegas. Just have a lot on my plate in the short-term, finishing-up a large project Dec. 15th. After that, I'll be ready to organize this.
