A few flies tied

Fly tying is what introduced me to fly fishing.  I started tying flies when a friend of my dad's gave me some initial equipment back when I was young. I tied a few crude flies  and put it away in the closet.  5 years ago I found the kit, and began tying flies again.  I tied a few flies, but was more curious if I could catch something with a fly I actually tied.  I ventured out to the closest trout stream, which happened to be the Vermillion.  By the end of the day, I had caught the first rainbow trout since I was 10.
