Left at 1:30 this morning, 10 hours later and I'm ready to fish! This is the view from the back of the property.

Ok, Ok. I'll admit it doesn't look that great. Everything was put together from scraps. The spinner is a pie pan cut to shape. Wire is colored copper wire, various glass beads, worm weight painted with fingernail polish and a red drinking straw. Treble hook with Mylar flash. I've been wanting to...

I've been tying Shannon's streamer. It's basically a worm fly. One of the guys on another forum thought it might work good for crappie, so I came home and tied a couple.

I learned this from Fly Fish Ohio. Supposily killer on Bass. It's made with Baby blanket yarn.

Please keep wife in Prayers. She has something going on. Tonight, we were sitting in our easy chairs and all of a sudden she felt like she was going to pass out. Rushed her to ER, but they couldn't find anything wrong. Around 3 weeks ago, she started having pains in head and face. Started out...

Did a couple tonight. I need some better eye adhesive. Darn super glue gets everywhere. Stuck my fingers together. Went screaming round the house like a little baby. Not really, but I was ticked off for a second or two. The super glue made the eyes cloudy.

Headed to Branson in the next few weeks to Fish Taneycomo. What flies would you Ty and take? Never fished for trout before. Should be a great adventure! I did a couple of zebra midges. Size 12 scud hook.

A little craft fur and satin

I only tyed one tonight

I ordered some Ruby Slipper paint from Crazy Angler and was wondering if I need to add clear to it? Maybe "need" is a poor voice of words. Do any of you add clear to it?

Haven't monkeyed with Purple much, thought now is as good a time as ever.

I want to give Crazy Angler a big thumbs up. I put in an order late at night on September 2nd and it was in my mailbox when I got home today. You can't beat that turn around time! Thanks again!

I am going to order some chenille from Crazy Anguler, but don't know if #5 is small, medium or large. anyone know?

Just finished making me a small batch of jelly. It made 2 cups exactly. A friend of mine who eats a low carb, diabetic diet sent me a recipe. It's made with 1 pound fruit, 1/4 cup sweetener, 2 Tablespoons chia seeds. The chia seed thicken it up and doesn't require pectin. You can use anything...

I have an Ambassadeur 5000 that belonged to my late uncle. I'm not sure of its exact age, but I would like to clean it up and start fishing with it. I'm not sure if this is the same reel, but sometime in the 80's my aunt asked me to help her pick out a reel for him on his birthday or it could...

Thanks to Redman, for posting about The Sioux City Journal. I dug around the site and found a few more gems to read. This one is on a bluegill fly. I've made an ant similar to this one and can tell you it's fun to tie. My friend Skip from another forum was the first to show me this fly and he...

Hey guys, I just received the crawdad jigs from the swap. I really liked the lead heads you used for your jigs. They are all different, but not the standard round or pill head I have been ordering. I would like to order some, but have no idea what they are called or how to ask for what I what...

A seemingly endless journey and an invitation to follow my footsteps as we learn about the Tellico Nymph Fly. Tonight, my baby girl (dash hound) wanted attention. She's spoiled you know. So, instead of going to my tying bench, I sat down in my easy chair, put her in my lap. She was happy to be...

I'm popper playing

I worked on this one the biggest part of the day. I worked on other projects while each coat of paint dried. It's still not complete. I have to put a coat of epoxy on to make her shiny. The idea for the paint scheme was from a how to on the wed written by a fellow named Ronald Braud.
