Up at 2:20 am, sitting on at my fly table wondering which fly to tie and this is what I got.

If you are going to have insomnia, why not tie some up? Very well done.....Is the fly at the 2 oclock position a Pheasant Tail?

Tying is a good way to clear the mind and bring peace.

By the way, I use the same magnets on my tying vice! ;)

Ray!
Are you implying that fly tying at 2:00 a.m. is not all, that common? :oops:
