'Art' or something resembling it

With the weather being unseasonably shitty I have not gotten on the water in what feels like ages.

Having full fly boxes and not much motivation to hit the vise, I messed around with some markers while watching the Chiefs lose (again).

Still needs a bit of work but not terrible considering.

The photo was shamefully stolen from Nick Granato (hopefully he doesn't mind).  Check out his fantastic blog at http://flyobsession.com/

Garage sale finds

My mother-in-law and her sister are having a garage sale, I stopped by pre-sale to peruse and snatched these for the low price of free.

'Random'

Weighted streamer, tied shank-style

New toy for chasing toothy critters, 'The Fish Grip', purchased on Ebay, $9 shipped to my door.  Now I just need to work on actually 'catching' them.

One of the main reasons I haven't fished in weeks and THE reason I'm about to fall asleep at my desk (grouting at midnight).

Notes from 'The Sticks'

A few more clicks left....

Daddy - Daughter time, lessons in life

Teaching valuable lessons to my daughter around the Weber. 

Like good ribs, a great smore takes resolve to not rush the process.

Brushy Creek Streamer

My version of the Brushy Creek Streamer

Tiemco 5263
Silve cone (obviously)
Hareline's Senyo's Laser Yarn, white
Hareline's Silver Ice Wing Fiber (or ice dub)
Hareline Extra Select Craft Fur Olive

With the large cone, all synthetic materials, and slim profile, this doesn't have any issues sinking down to 'fish level.'

Signs of Fall, non tree/leaf pictures

Since the tree/leaf pictures seem a bit played out when it comes to 'Here comes fall' posts, here's my signs of fall:
