A little while ago I used the vast power of the internet and a coupon to make myself a little journal to
store my fly tying recipes in. I very seldom tie standard patterns because...- well, I like to create.
Also even if the stuff I tie has been tied before, I typically don't follow the strict ingredients listed in
the published books . Of course no ordinary off the rack journal will do for this fly fishing fool, no - I
had one custom printed with my art on the cover.
with recipes and drawings of my flies. My hope is that with this
new journal I will be able to keep track of the materials
I have used as well as when I fish these flies and how well they
produce. In the past I have created a few flies that did well but after loosing them at the bottom of the stream I soon forget about them
and the materials I used to tie them. I know the rule of three's when
tying flies (Always tie three flies - use two and save the third to copy
later) but I seldom follow it mainly because I am lazy. This journal
was part of my New Years resolution to become a better fly tier.
Hopefully it will help to organize my fly tying and record keeping
when it comes to fly fishing.
Keeping a journal like this is a helpful tool for any serious fly fisherman. My hope is that I will stick with
it and keep it up to date.
I hesitate to offer this journal - with my art - for sale on this site due to the cost associated with having
such small quantities printed and shipped but I know a few other fly fisherman are going to ask so here
it goes. If you would like a journal like this with my art on the cover - Email me here. I will even allow
you to pick the print from my available prints for the cover of your custom Journal.
Now here is the tough part - the price. I realistically can not do this for less that $30 per journal plus $4
shipping. Unfortunately I know this is steep and I don't expect much if any takers on this but I know I
will be asked about it so there you go. I wish I could make it less, but any cheaper and I will be paying
you to order one. In the future I might try to find a better printer if interest in this peeks.
And Now For the FREE Stuff!!! Lightload Towels sent me another package of towels for a review I did
thanks to the Outdoor Blogger Network. Actually they sent me this extra package of towels due to the
original package of towels that got temporary lost in the mail. I will save you the boring details but
needless to say, sometimes our mail service down here in the south leave much to be desired.
Anyway, I didn't feel right keeping this extra package of Lightload Towels because a mix-up in shipping
so I am passing this on to my followers. I also hope to give this great company a little buzz in the
process. If you would like to receive a FREE package of these towels simply 1: be a follower of this
blog (OTF) and 2: leave a comment on this post (this post being the real post on OTF). The opportunity
to win this little gift will end at on February 10th and midnight.
Boom...Morgan
