vicrider 0 Report post Posted December 25, 2021 As the last one to get a gift I was lucky in that Stabgnid was the last arrival and I wrapped it and put my name on it. When I opened it I was pleasantly surprised to see it was a trout box that will go with me to White River if I make it next year and sure plan on. It's primarily nymphs and because it was the last one in I didn't get pictures of it but will try to tomorrow. Suffice to say Santa is very happy with his gift.

MuskyFlyGuy 0 Report post Posted December 25, 2021 Vicrider, Santa paid me a visit and left some wonderful flies. I think Santa wants to turn me into a bass catching machine. Hope you can get out and put Stabgnid’s flies to use. Our thoughts are with you and your wife this Christmas! Meanwhile, we have over four months of ice to go.

vicrider 0 Report post Posted December 25, 2021 Right now we're having 70-80 degree temps. I moved here to get away from ice fishing but this is unusual even for us. Last year by comparison we were covered in snow and below freezing temps for several weeks. I know I didn't provide much of a box but you said send nothing and I think I did you better than that. Your flies are scattered through many other boxes as you asked. Wife is doing very well wearing a patch behind her ear to help with the dizziness and balance but it's still a long time back to normal with therapy and balance exercises.

I'll possibly be out in your neck of the woods in February on a business trip but might try to get an extra day to get out on the water with them.
