Yep, I'm liking it!! Went to the creek late last week and caught trout (9 to 10 inch stockers) on three of the flies I've tied; the "Bubble Back Midge", as well as a couple of Soft Hackle files, one yellow and another black, which I patterned somewhat after Hugh Hartsell's "Smoky Mountain Blackbird". You guys are right, there's a great deal of satisfaction in catching one on something you tied.
To help these ole eyes with the tying, I have ordered a magnification visor; Baush & Lomb.
