Today I reached a milestone in my attempt to bring some of my ramblings, thoughts and memories to those who enjoy all that is small stream fly fishing. When Small Stream Reflections started I never anticipated it going this long, or reaching as many people as it has. I do truly enjoy bringing my thoughts and outings to you, but it's you my followers and readers from all over the world that deserve credit.
It's hard to believe that this is my 700th post, but it is. And I have reached 415,000 page views, that's almost a half million. This is humbling, and appreciated.
So to thank you I'm giving away 6 flies tied by me. These are what I call "Cornerstone Flies". Anyone who comments on this post is eligible to win. I will give each comment a number and place that number in a bowl. On Tuesday I will have my wife Jeanette reach into that bowl and pick a winning number.
So I would like to say "thank you", and hope you'll continue to stop by "Small Stream Reflections"

Always a treat to read and to learn about fly fishing, tying and life in New England. I'll echo all of your readers in thanking you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Alan. Your postings are appreciated in particular with how you transport my busy day at the computer terminal in a hectic office to putting me in the forest along side your trip to a streamside pool.
