I have been tying a lot these last few months Chronimids, Damsels Nymphs, Dry Damsels, and lots of different May flies, dries, emergers, and nymphs.
Today was the pay off for all my time and effort. I saw this guy that Jay today and he asked me what was up with the Big R Store and the Fly Shop And why wasn't I still there.
I'm not there because I used tobacco, The real reason is the kid Manager they hired Paul from Montana, Just out of school, knew it all, and I was old school. He had never fished still waters, but still knew it all.
When he first started someone asked me about him and all I said was"kinda an odd duck."
Will the guy I told that too was going to be his future brother in law and he blew it way out of tex, Telling Paul. After that Paul would never talk to me unless I asked him something. then it was very short ansured.
I was terminated the first of August, and a week later he went back to Montana for something was suppost to be back at work on Monday never called and a few more days goes by, He texted the Manage after being gone for more than a week Told him he was not coming back. ( kids these days)
Enough of that I'm quite happy with my life, I fish more, screw off more, work less and make just what I need to pay the bills without digging into our savings and best of all I get to spend more time with my wife and the dogs. OH yea fish more.
Anyway Jay asked if I still tyed flies. after stopping in the fly shop he couldn't find anything he needed to fish the lake around here.
I showed him some of my samples, and before it was all done and over with he bought 150 flies, and his Buddy bought another 45. he didn't even want to look at the dries at this time. but will be calling on his next trip up. and he will be showing my flies to his Buddies and giving out my number.
Remember buy local,
Better hand tyed flies,
Don't unwind after the first fish.
They last longer
Life is to short, fish more, and enjoy more of whatever makes you Happy
