My jig man. Thank you Bruce for all yer help.

Jr is very busy with house builds right now, but I will be working on getting yer way bud.

Interesting. I have a few guys that buy Tom Thumbs off of me out that way.

Filling up the tray with some #8 3X. So much fun tieing these.

You can buy the skirts from Luremaking .com. Or,you can mail them to me and I,ll do some of my magic to them. NC, Just pay the mailing cost both ways.

Thanks gang for the kind words. I have well over 2000+ ties stocked away and building. I have plans on being at the CANCAST 2025 . Talking to some guys that were there last year,I would be well to attend at their tackle swap section. I have have packaging now and labels are being made this week along with cards. I have a good customer base for my ice grubs and my spring twitch and bead bugs now. Woolly buggers are always selling well. Like to share a good story . This was from meeting up with an older fella that has tied for a long time. I had this one fella that was picking through my bugs and wooliys. Asked if he was looking for something particular. He replied, no,I am impressed you use quality materials and hooks especially. Also advised my prices were very generous and should be charging more. I replied,I am comfortable with my selling price, it keeps my customers coming back. I felt like I was taking a test from this older fly tyer. He asked what I meant by double wrapped woolly. I explained my way of tying them. Lock the hackle at the head,wrap the thread back to the tail,wrap the hackle back,trap the hackle 3 wraps with the thread,then wiggle the thread through the hackle locking it down, back to the head and whip finish. He said not many do that as it,s extra steps ,but mentioned that is how he has done it for years. No messing around with thin wire, as is the norm. Turns out this guy has been tying for like 40 plus years. I was very humbled.

What started as a low level tieing for minimum profit, has got me in a bit deeper then expected, but the rewards of seeing what I can do, is a bonus. Retirement is coming and well, I want to keep my hands and brain busy . Some of my latest works. o

Was not a very productive morning but sure as heck, was nice to be out floating about. Back up dinner. 😆 🤣

The season is here once again for my fav fresh water fish. White fish. Opens in the morning and I am all loaded up and stoked.

That is very cool. I was much older then him when I caught my first. Not even close to that size,but was exciting . Congrats to the little fella. Nice first.

Oh come on now. Some crappie and loads of snot rockets. LOL

I have lost all my old pics of rigg,n with a 13.6 ft stick and using a pin reel. That is a blast.

Simcoe whities snatch this blood worm tie. I run it 18" up from my bottom bait.

Frogg togg river jacket and waders. No complaints, and been 4 seasons

They were last best before last date. Got a 2 pack for $11 at Zhers. I just did a dry rub,brown sugar / kosher salt. Let get happy for 3 days,flipping over each day. Rinse,let air dry for 4hours after patting dry,then in the smoker for the 3,2,1. Smoked with apple.

Smoked baby back bacon ribs. Why not make them part of a ,night time breaky dinner,,,,

Have not had to use a winch in about 8+ years now. Just pull the float boat up,deflate,roll and well,Bob,maybe Jay or Bill,is your uncle. You could of asked,and I would of bought and shipped,,,,,,,,,

I just crank the tunes and get going Simon. Seems I can make one start of a song and finish when it,s done. So about 3-4 min. I have got a system down and works well. If the mrs,s is home and turns the TV on,much slower times. I seem to stop and watch moments. LOL
