I like the trim wraps too! Nice work.

Nice work Mike! I have made quite a few sheaths and knife scales , it's a fun hobby and a great way to make use of my belt sander. Be careful - leather working is as addictive as fly tying and rod building.

There are indeed grayling in Colorado.

I use a 9 ft 3 wt for bluegill frequently and I toss both bluegill size poppers and weighted nymphs with a strike indicator. Little or no wind is necessary but the fishing is a blast with the setup. I also love the Dancraft 3/4 wt 10' rod I made a while back for bluegill. http://www.rodbuildingforum.com/index.php?showtopic=24090&hl=dancraft

The cure for boredom is curiosity,there is NO cure for curiosity.

I have not used film for years. Still have the equipment but digital has replaced all of that by now.

Beautiful field of flowers!

I use Cocoons - they fit right over my prescription glasses and the polarization and uv protection is awesome. Price isn't bad either. http://shop.liveeyewear.com/p/cocoons-slim-line-ish-monroe-pro-sunglasses-m-black-frame-copper-lenses?pp=8

Fly tying is a wonderful hobby, but rather addictive. If you need help, this is the place.
