Awesome Crayfish


Wow, that is one awesome crayfish. Don't know who tyed it, but I know I'll be making these when the snow flies. It was up for auction at the federation of Flyfishers' Annual Fly Fishing Fair & Conclave a few weeks ago.

Enjoyed a lot of dry fly action. Small dries and no foam flies. Wonder of all wonders in Montana.

Need To Write More

OK, so I have been neglecting the blog. Sorry, but I have had to do some fishing, playing and golfing. Well, now that the feel of fall is in the air, I will be all over my tying desk like white on rice. Or maybe like flies on s#!*. You know what I mean.
