I am in full swing winter tying mode right now. The winter fishing remains ok around Western NY, but the fact is spring is approaching and I need to get my boxes ready! A few things that have improved my motivation: upcoming trip to Utah at the end of April, the new fly binders I have created, and a new book Modern Midges by R. Takahashi & J. Hubka (buy this if you fish with midge flies).
The small fly binder is about 1/4 of the way full already. Once full these flies will be available for purchase.
Light sow bug #14.
BWO soft-hackle #16.

nice flies lucas, The first one looks like one of my fav patterns the griffth's gnat
I'm definitely jealous of your trip to Utah. What part? I use to visit my grandparents out there. It was on small streams in Utah where I likely first casted a fly. I hope to get back there again someday! Have a great time!
thanks everyone, I appreciate your visits and comments!
Jim ~ it does look like a gnat! the photo is misleading if you look at it from the front/side it is completely flat like a sow bug.
Mike ~ I'll be staying outside of SLC, but I'm not sure where I'll be fishing yet... It's up to the local guys I'm meeting there.
