    1. Sorry about your shoulder, Bill. Rotator cuffs can take a while to heal. The fish will still be there when you can finally get out, though. Take time to heal!

  2. Hey Tom, I have been following you on youtube for a while and really enjoy the videos. And since I hadn't seen anything new for while, I popped over to check on you and what an amazing fly! I can't wait to try it out. Just started (again) to tie my own flies and having a blast! Do you have any videos on flies that you have tied?Thanks for all you do, it is really appreciated.
