Beautiful work Gary, you always make great presentations!

I use a 3-ring binder with index cards in folder pocket pages. details include notes on measurements and materials and if it is needed a sample or master pattern but most now have been photographed and stored on a stick. I probably should do the same and digitize and keep the file on a stick or separate drive. It would be much easier to keep organized or make changes.

👍 I need the change of seasons, the possibility of ice fishing, sitting in front of the wood stove with the wind and snow blowing. My wanderlust in the hot humid summers always drives me to head north 🐟

If it is a decent day, sunny, above 25-30 degrees Ill fish if I get an opportunity. Used to steelhead fish in colder. Layers, neoprene waders, a sling pack and inflatable suspenders. thermos of hot coffee. fishing is slow and deep unless the winter caddis or stoneflies hatch about mid-day then its slow and shallow. Bitter cold - frozen guides and reels- snow & ice encased wader boots I'm over with fishing in that.............but I'll drag the ice sled out!

Nice intro Heff the girls will be a welcome addition to your fishing with time, great you include them in tying.

Nice upgrade I haven't reloaded anything in a few years gave my single stage to a friend kept all the Lee handloaders that I started with.

Very happy he found a great home! without a dog or three life isn't the same.
