Wow It Has Been A While

since I last posted.  Sorry about that people.  The last two weeks were extremely busy for me.  Not only was my full time job filled with long hours and stressful situations but I also had a lot of fly tying to do for orders.  I did the math last night and since July 4 I have tied up 176 flies.  The majority of them have been poppers.  We just completed another order for our local Orvis store.  This order was for 8 dozen poppers.  We still need to make another 6 dozen.  I did some Fruit Cocktails for a fly swap on Fly Tying Forum and then we did orders of various sizes for people.  Most, if not all, contained poppers and Panfish Persuaders.  I have been getting up before work and hitting the vise for a few hours.  After work I have been coming home and doing the same thing.  It made for some long days but it was worth it.  I actually enjoyed it as well.  I wish I had photos but let's all remember that my camera was last seen tumbling end over end on the bottom of the Monocacy River as the current swept it away 3 weeks ago.  So far work hasn't given me a new camera.  I must say though that I will only be using it, once I get it, to take photos of my flies.  It will no longer be accompanying me on my fishing adventures.  I learned my lesson from losing this one. 

Randy over at Leaping Bluegills received an order of our flies.  He did a nice write up about them here if you would like to see it.  I am excited for Randy to come back from vacation so we can see how well he did with the flies. 

It has been over two weeks since I last had a line wet.  I am hoping to chase some smallies either tonight or tomorrow night or even both if the wife will let me.  I am caught up on orders so right now we are trying to build up our stock which means that I don't feel bad hitting the water.

So stay tuned for more updates and again I am sorry for the delay in posting until now.
