'left some extra tube on the schnozola so that I can still add a cone-head if this makes it all the way to Bishop's Shoal in a few months...
The tubular notion can open up some curious doors...

Hello duke,
Thanks for the nice comment on the pattern, you said I have added your pattern to my book!. Have you written a book?. I am interested what kind of book you have written? Please let me know. And I think it is great to tie flies with your grandson and to fish with him.
Best regards,
Tom .

Thanks Armando. These are a fun style of fly to tie. It takes some practice, but once you have it down, they come pretty quick. The biggest challenge is finding the hooks.

Hi Joel;
Gee, your compliment is really kind and very, shall I say, glowing. Thank you so much for your endorsement! I do love tying and also teaching. It's rewarding to have students learn and tell me their tying has improved as a result of my efforts. Thanks again!

A fantastic experience the young one. He'll never forget about landing his first fish. He'll now be pestering his father to go fishing more and more.
This is what its all about - teaching our 'next generation' on how to fish.
