First crack at a soft hackle and introduction

Hello, my name is Mark and I'm new here.
I've been swinging flies for steelhead and salmon for a few years now and just recently started trying to apply what I know to trout. I got an invite to go grouse hunting and trout fishing with a friend and fellow member here (senecalaker) last month and I managed to catch a few browns. Now, like any other fly tyer, I've started tying more flies than I will ever need.
Still getting used to tying flies this small. I'm used to tying Game Changers, Circus Peanuts and Senyo A.I.'s on articulated shanks.
