For the last few weeks now, I haven't been able to tie many flies due to a lack of fly tying materials in my inventory. Whenever I sat down to tie some flies to add to the inventory of my online store, I was always out of something. If I wanted to tie a Lunch Money, I would have the hooks, the rabbit strips, and laser dub but no dumbbell eyes. If I wanted to tie wooly buggers, I would have marabou, chenille, and hackle but no cone heads. So there was only one solution. I need to order some materials and I needed a lot of them.
I used to watch a show called "Justified." There were a lot of good one-liners in the show and there was one that I will never forget. Boyd, a character with a quick wit, once said, "If you're going to be a bear, be a grizzly." I thought of that line before I clicked on "Place Order" on the J. Stockard Fly Fishing website. $250 dollars later, my materials were ordered and I received them a few days later. So if you've ever wondered what $250 dollars worth of fly tying materials looks like, this is it! On top of that, I even got a free beanie too!
I hope you have a great weekend and find some time to relax and do something you enjoy. And while I enjoy working on posts for this blog, I now have flies to tie!
PS- I also ordered a bunch of Show Me Fly Guy stickers because I was almost out of those too! They came from MakeStickers.com.
