Sweet! Yes, I'm so impressed with the flies that came through. All top notch ties.

PS looks like you got one of mine in your batch!

Imagine there's a new exciting restaurant in town, and everyone tells you about the unusual and interesting food. But when you go, the whole menu is stuff Grandma made when you visited, pot pies, and Thanksgiving dinner.
It'd still be pretty great, just not what you thought you were getting into.

Sweet! Those look great.

Well, I'm honored! The palmer futsu is one of my faves, but I need to get another saddle in that color. Used up all the size 14 feathers! I still have size 12, which would probably be ok. I worry about the sink rate with that much hackle sticking out.

Thanks for choosing my flies for the swap! I've got to figure out what I want to contribute still.

Nice catch, for sure! It's wild to me how you folks get shad runs we can only dream about now here in their native East Coast rivers.

Sweet! Probably the young of the year heading downstream.

Thanks!

Sweet! Looks like a nice day on the water at a great looking spot.

Sweet! We like the Ukiyo in our house. If it's a big cousin to that rod, we'll probably like this one, too.

Honestly, I would recommend just composting the drops. They're often pretty astringent, and cooking just makes that worse.

Adjusted the pricing to include shipping. Otherwise, there are some situations where I'd be losing money!

Thanks for the feedback. I have a hard time anyone would want something with my logo on it.

Right now, I'm only using a base product that I've personally had experience with and am satisfied with. Let me know if anyone has any requests. Link to the mug aboe:

I was on a mission. Had the end taped to the spool for the last fly. There was probably enough left for one more fly, but not enough for the tools to do their thing.
