dogfacedoc 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2020 I'm at work and my wife texted me saying she was bored. I told her she could paint some poppers. She texts a few hours later, showing off this that she tied. She has not tied anything before! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DOUG STOUT 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2020 I've taken newbies fly fishing. I would have them tie a foam beetle and a wooly bugger before we started. The excitement they would have to catch a fish on a fly they tied them selves was priceless. They were hooked too.ย ย Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
