Winter fly tying

Wapsi Perfect Popper

This winter has been too cold for me to fish for the most part. The ponds and lakes in my neck of the woods have been frozen. I could have done some ice fishing but I have never been one to trust the ice when the ponds freeze because it rarely ever gets cold enough for long enough that I would feel comfortable walking on it. What is a fisherman supposed to do when it's too cold to fish? If you like to fly fish like I do, then winter is the perfect time to tie flies. Here are some photos of some that I have been tying over the winter.
