R&R, R&D, and a little grocery shopping.

Bugs for everything from Trout to Tarpon and much more.

Small batches available at Flashyflies.com or message me for custom flies.

Having some fun over the past few weeks building up some nymphs for my new 3wt nymphing rod Santa brought me.

Two things that make me very happy, a well tied fly, and a paper catalog from a great company.

Maybe I can find a fly tying nutcracker for next year?

Merry Christmas to all my fly fools and friends.

Field testing some random streamer patterns on some pond bass. They seem to like em.

LeBlanc Leatherworks’ game straps are the only way to carry out your haul when feather shopping. They are the official game strap of Southern Fried Flies.

Jeff even took my strap on its maiden voyage and sent me a bunch of pheasant and chukar feathers to wrap around a hook.

Well, my streamers seem to work for bass. So far they have taken mini dungeons, barley legals, wooly headed sculpin and some random cone head streamers I made up.

Hopefully I’ll get to try them on trout one day.
