Almost a month!!! With Crease fly pics

I can't believe it's been almost a month since my last post. I don't imagine anyone is still paying attention to this blog anymore lol. A lot has happend, first my second son was born, then I had finals. I also picked up a 14ft. 1975 MirroCraft that I plan on using this summer, then doing a bass boat project on it in the winter. Should be fun. I am going to use some of the layouts on tinboats to create my perfect floor plan. Should be interesting as it progresses. I decided to tie up some crease fly's after a visit to the local Orvis and seeing what they had to offer. I wasn't impressed with what they had and haven't tied any in awhile so I tied a dozen of each in the pics. I'm thinking of tying a dozen of a bunch of warm water patterns and taking them up there to see if they are interested at all in them. A lot of their warm water stuff left a lot to be desired, not that I'm good by any stretch. I have managed to sell a few flies, and those that have bought them seem to be happy with them which is encouraging. These crease fly's are on size 2 mustads.

  2. Hey wes, I forgot about that swap and very happy it is going good! I stopped following it I think on accident. I will make a post tonight and get it all caught up and then I can stay on top of it. Thanks for the reminder. I would love to get the box to see what has gathers from it. I did send a ton of my personal stuff when I started it. But again I will make a post tonight when I get back home and this should be fun!
