I was just messing with DarrellP, my goal is to become more active, I’ve gained 20+ lbs since retiring Beside that, try to keep a cleaner tying area, when I look at my bench I don’t get inspired to tie, can’t find what I’m looking for

That’s what I’m talking about

That didn’t take long, sold

With additional 3 feet through Thrus

Got back to Erie PA after a much needed rain. Shot a b4 and after rain pic, and some results . Yesterday I put 14 on the bank in 3 hrs. Size 12 Double Trouble ( lively legs) was the top producer, along with squirmy worm and the safety pin minnow . Egg flys as well

Ditto

So sad, Mike was a big inspiration to my adventures in tying Classic’s. Love his books and videos, more importantly he was genuinely a great guy and mentor

I knew Mike Martinek and was happy to have taken a couple classes from him. I have a few of his Carrie fly’s, would either of you guys have any interest in them? I have a couple “matted” but the others are sitting in a box. I’d be glad to offer them to either , not looking for any money, them sitting in a drawer seems wrong
