Welcome to the NEW SITE!
November 24, 2008Welcome to the new site!
Tracey and I have just returned from the International Fly Tiers Symposium in New Jersey where we had a fantastic show and caught up with some old friends and GREAT FLY TIERS! Tom Baltz, Walt Young, Bill Skilton, Dick Talleur and many, many others who are equally impressive. We met some wonderful folks and booked alot of trips for the upcoming season, so thanks to all who stopped by our booth to say hello, and a very special thaks to Chuck and Janet Furimsky.
ALSO……for those who stopped by and have not recieved an email from us, it’s because we couldn’t read your “chicken scratch”, please feel free to call us, we have a special offer for everyone who attended the show and stopped by our booth.
We gave away 2 FREE trips during the show and the winners are…………….
Keith Torok and Larry Bunch— We will be contacting you today to schedule your trip!
SULPHURS
One of the great things about the show is that you get to sit there and tie flies ALL DAY LONG! Each tier ties what would amount to their “specialty” patterns. I normally tie something that is common in our area and this year I focused on Sulphurs. I tied parachutes, quill bodied Catskills, spinners, soft hackles and nymphs. Needless to say, I got my supply built up pretty well. See our products page for ordering.
Henk Verhaar, a GREAT tier from the Netherlands, will be staying with Tracey and I this week and He and I will be tromping around the waters of central Pa for a few days. I’ll be sure to post some pics!
In other news, we have what looks to be about a 600 pound bear in our neighborhood. The track is 12 inches long and 7 inches wide! Blue hates bears and is quite nervous! ha ha! we’re keeping him quite busy in the bird fields though and he doesn’t spend much time frolicking in the yard these days!
let us know what you think of the New Site! Be sure to visit often, as I plan to update this a few days a week and will keep current information on conditions, events, products etc….
Happy Thanksgiving!
Eric & Tracey
Wonderful new site. I truly think you both were put on this earth to fulfill lives that need to shine.
My PD is progressing and now I have problems with my hips, so walking is somewhat painful.
I am considering joining the beginners tying class. Just to watch Eric at the tying bench would be great.
Anyway, great site and both have a very merry Christmas and the best New Year ever.
