The old man has still got the skillz! I am with you Spokes. I think Chuck's exceeded our age limit and should be disqualified.

Very nice tie Chuck!

Here's mine, didn't even want to post it after seeing what you guys did. Pictures are not good as I suspected but here goes. Pictures are so bad there is no way I could do a tutorial. Tying instructions are here: http://flyanglersonline.com/flytying...060903fotw.php If anyone laughs I'll have Gatorbyte put a curse on you that he learned from a voodoo woman named Phyllis. All of your progeny will be condemned to grow mullet hair cuts and wear jean shorts until the end of times. Then, their land will be invaded by a strange speaking interloper from the north who will look down upon them as second class citizens and will take over the their land. They will fear hurricanes and other acts of God and their children will worship a big eared false idol who will smile even as he relieves them of their innocence, virtue and money. Oh, wait a minute..........nevermind. Don't mock me, it's happened before

#1 post of all time.

I tried one of my Fishinbub originals that calls for a yarn tail burned at the end. Well I haven't moved my yarn up here yet and had to use chenile. That stuff burns a whole heck of a lot better than yarn.
