I doubt anyone will read this but I'm going to try and update a little more often then every 8 months lol. It's amazing how much free time I seemed to have before our second son was born lol. I look back and think what did I do with all that extra time. Anyway took my eldest son (3 y.o) out for the first fishing trip of the year yesterday. While the bite wasn't good at all (it is only march in cleveland, ohio) we still had a blast and he was able to pull in a couple of gills on some of daddy's bugs lol. I plan on heading back today or tomorrow and trying for some trout, as yesterday was for him since he's been asking to go fishing for months. I hope he continues to enjoy it as it's a great hobby. I also got myself a melting pot, some lead, and have some molds and jig hooks on the way so I can't wait for that. I have also been tying a bunch lately, created a store on etsy for my flies and may list some on ebay. I will attach some pics of what I've been up to. I still have many varities to take pics of and will post those when I do, along with a group shot of everything together. I am trying to build a little inventory before I really start pushing for some sales on ebay. Hope all is well to everyone that checks here even without my posting, but I promise I will at least try to post more often, at least once a month is my goal. On to the pics...
