][font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]Darn it now I have to say what my ugly creations are suppose to represent. I was going to send my flies in a brown bag with no return address. I don't care if you send them back as not to embarrass either you or me. Me for making them & you FGD for having enough guts to forward them on. Now do you think the fishys really care how nice they look? I hope not! [
] The other week my local paper [sports section] had a nice article about fly fishing. This week the subject was "Hooked on the art of fly-tying". They estimate that between 10 - 20% of the fly fishermen [generic term] tie flies. Yesterday I stopped in at one of the local craft stores to look for beads and other items. The clerk mentioned that she has a lot of men coming in buying a variety of items used in making flies. I picked up a pack of 200 2mm brass beads for $2.99 where as Bob Marriotts gets $15.00. They carry marabou, hackle, peacock eye quills etc. I think that they found another customer.[/size][/green][/font]
