Effective Flies!

The Lunch Money caught some nice, river smallmouth lately.


Last weekend, I received a couple of messages from some very thoughtful and happy customers of mine.  They both informed me that the flies I sent them were working well and that they were very happy with the results.  I cannot express how happy this makes me on so many levels.  I got into selling flies for three reasons.  1. I wanted to help folks catch more fish on patterns that have been productive for me.  2. I wanted a reason to keep tying.  I could probably fill all of my fly boxes in a couple of months, but after that, why would I keep tying?  Running an online store keeps me working and keeps my skills sharp.  3. Finally, I would be dishonest if I didn't mention that the income is a factor.  I don't make a huge amount of money but currently, it's helping me pay for my new boat and it's nice to have some emergency money to use in case an unforeseen emergency were to present itself.  

I believe that win-win situations where both parties are happy with an outcome are ideal.  I'm glad to help other anglers and I'm glad for the positive feedback that makes me so happy.  If I could provide you with some flies, I sure would be happy to send some your way.  Feel free to check out my store on Etsy or request a custom order by emailing me at showmeflyguy@gmail.com.  Thank you for visiting my little slice of the internet today and thank you for your support whether it is an order or just a visit to this site!



This is a rainbow trout from the White River in Arkansas and that is a size 6 wooly bugger in it's mouth.  I guess the trout are on the baitfish bite right now!
