The Thrills of Moving
|
Wednesday 10th March, 2010 One benefit of packing up and moving to a new apartment (aside from cheaper rent) is that it forced me to clean up, pack up, and organize my fly tying kit. Now, if you’ve seem my tying corner, you are already laughing because the word “kit” sort of understates the scale, insanity, and disorganization of the whole operation. A few years of working in a flyshop followed by a few more as the owner of a small scale commercial fly tying business pretty much guarantees that you’ll have way too many tying materials (unless you are following the Lars the Viking, There Is No Such Thing As Too Much Tying Stuff Rule). Shoot, I have materials that I’ve never tied with, and I’m often surprised by what pops up when I’m sorting through the baggies looking for a specific bit of fluff. It’s always exciting when you discover a pack of chartreuse and green barred rubber legs hiding between a Hungarian partridge neck and a purple died guinea fowl skin. Right? Well, I guess now that I’m organized I’ll miss out on some of that brand of fun. I think the last time it was in good organization was sometime in 2007 when I shot the picture in today's POD! I haven’t been tying much or fishing much this winter by my usual standards, and I don’t have any big trips on the books right now, so I don’t know what I’ll be tying next. What I do know is that I’ll be tying at a new address and when I’m looking for red rabbit strips, egg hooks, peacock herl, or those dang chartreuse and green rubber legs, I’ll know which drawer to look in for a change. Be Well & Fish On,
