It's been a while so I think I'll join in.

The black bears I've eaten have been pretty good.

Probably would've been best to dig the snow out of the cabin area, I haven't tried it myself but I imagine it makes a terrible foundation.

Yes I do, not as often as bass is what's most easily available in my area but I do some trout coding as well.

Bacchus thank you for the beautiful flys and box.

All olive drab isn't gunna look prtty either, be ok with white trim. At the moment our shops are a pretty similar color scheme as I recently put on hardy siding and have been to lazy to paint.

For some reason those letters make it look pricey.

Got mine today, thanks again nick and those who supplied the bonus materials. On a side note whoever got the knife handwash and dry no dishwasher.

Thanks for all the work nick.

It's stabilized buckeye, the pins are white g10, the blade is nitro-v stainless.

Here's a few pictures of the knife I'm donating, as much as I was hoping not to use blue just so Mike would and complain about how someone else's knife wasn't blue enough they were these were the most suited cutoffs I had in the shop.

I'm with you Mark, I expected "I fell while wading in waist deep water and my foot got stuck" or something of that nature.

May get significantly better deals if you wait until summer to do the full replacement, I imagine it will probably be at least a break even if the temporary repair is only a few dollars.

Well my blades still aren't back from heat treating, and when they do get back I'm going to have to push to get through all my paid orders in time for Christmas. I decided I'll do one of these sweet little paring knives in nitro-v instead of the bird and trout knife I had planned, if you win it it will be a nice addition to your kitchen, don't cook well your wife or mother might appreciate that your fly tying got her this sweet sweet piece of kitchen cutlery. Anyways anyone who will be participating in the draw want to request handle colors, last year Mike was the first to chime is and said it should be blue if I let him chime in again this year we all know his choice is going be blue.

I'm sorry for your loss Mike, we lost one of our two a while ago, he got a blood clot in one of his major arteries he was only 8 or so, I figured we would have him for several more years unless he paid the price for his freedom and got eaten by a coyote.
