flyfishingtaz 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 Actually the overall damage wasnt too bad. Got a few patches of deer hair (one of which is about equal to 10 patches in length, and 2 wide in black) in green, white, and orange, some big game thread for bass bugs, a new hair packer, latest edition of flytyer mag, n a few packs of marabou feathers. well lets just say I went almost twice over what I was ummm 'promised' to spend. At least I'll have some colorful flies to display at My funeral later this week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chase Creek 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 I was active as a Ham Radio operator for 40+ years. My wife's father was also a Ham. I could NEVER sneak a new piece of radio equipement into the house. I found that if she asked about a new item on my desk, I could tell her "Bob loaned it to me for a while." Discovered that doesn't really work with fly tying items. I just 'fess up and take my beating like a man. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
