I haven't done a video in a while so hopefully I'm not too rusty. First crack with the mac using iMovie. In the near future I'm going to tweak the format along with some improved tech to up the production value, but one thing at a time!

Last year I organized a fundraiser for PHWFF and I'm excited to announce we'll be doing it again over Veterans Day! This year is an auction format so at the moment I'm collecting donations from sponsors. If interested you can learn more here. I'll keep you posted on the products up for auction, but if anyone wants to donate flies I'll package them up for auction or include them event promotions. If you're interest email me at [email protected] Thanks - Kyle

Flytire got it Loctite Go2 glue. I really like this stuff and use it for an increasing amount of applications. It takes a little longer to dry, but the finish is crystal clear and very durable I wrote a recent blog on glues if you're interested: http://www.hammercreekflyfishing.com/blog/the-glues-i-use. Thanks for checking it out and the nice feedback. -

If you looked at your bench right now, how many flies could you tie from just the scraps? I came down to the bench the other morning and thought the same question so this week I'm going to find out. Since I'm giving them away with a Tacky Fly box at the end of the week I'm also trying to get some variety. If your interested in taking a guess to win here's a link to my site http://www.hammercreekflyfishing.com/blog/clean-bench-giveaway Otherwise I'm interested to hear how man flies your have in scraps!
