Default tied my first fly tonight

Hi All
Tied my first flies tinight at Kilmarnock fly tying club.
really enjoyed myself.
tied 3 x black cormorants, the dude helped me with the first then I tied the other 2 myself.
my 2 look nothing like the first
have major respect for fly tying now, certainly not as easy as it looks.
think im now hooked as they say.
peace
rusty

Hope you've got a deep wallet. Hobby on it's own is fly tying.

Don't fall into the trap of buying materials randomly. Only buy materials for specific flies to start with.
