Lately, whenever I set down to tie a fly...

kind of self-explanatory, right? We seem to have some impressive thread-wrappers that lurk around this board. let's try to keep your "first booger" posts at a minimum.

If you have lollipops you could tie tube muddlers. Might take a while...

At least you have an excuse. I just settled on a pattern for ours and they are due Sunday. Wait, how is it that our swap started a week later than yours and the due date is 3 weeks earlier? There is no justice in this world.
