First Grandchild

Postby Barrie Mann » January 10th, 2010, 6:05 am

Not a fly fishing topic, but the reason I left the Kern and relocated to central Florida. My youngest son and his wife presented us with a beautiful healthy baby girl last night(7:14 PM EST). Both Mother and baby are doing fine and the first time grandparents (on both sides) are just estatic. I can't wait to put a fly rod in my granddaughters hand and teach her how to fish. :bananadance: :bananadance: :bananadance: :bananadance: :bananadance:

Congratulations, Barrie! :D :D :D
How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.

Congrats to you and your family and especially the new parents and their baby girl.
