Obviously all of my tarpon flies are pretty. That being said, there is no way most people can be successful with patterns for one location while fishing in another. The fish react to and eat flies different in every location. They call them "local patterns" for a reason. So, take your boxe...

Yeah, those are getting stuck on the oyster bars.

Flytiers Dungeon makes a good product. A few years ago I ordered a christmas box from him it had not arrived by june. He ended up sending me a huge box with a few hundred dollars worth of polar bear to boot.

Now that your daughter is married off you can spend some cash on fine fly rods....

Older models of "High End" rods are available on ebay for as much as a crappy new rod costs. Always a good way to go.

Must be a damn long winter over there.

I have tried blackening white fish several ways but its still got no rhythm.
