It is fun tying the out of the ordinary flies this time of year.<br /><br />I have just finished re-reading a book called 'The Last Pool, Upstream and Down Big Stony.' One chapter involves a couple of fly tiers who have tired of tying dozens of the traditional flies during the winter and start tying non-traditional ones. The whole book is good if one loves fly fishing.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08858232423819687001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-37823172478522561892018-01-10T14:48:41.551-05:002018-01-10T14:48:41.551-05:00will investigate it now you have mentioned it.
