Give a man a fish and you will feed him for one day.
Teach a man to fish and you will feed him for the rest of his life.
Give a man a boat and he will sit in it and drink beer all day!

Thanks William Gerrard for putting a great Symposium together.

I admit I will need practice but I do see myself trying these techniques again.
Thanks Guys.

Ever since the day at the sportsman show volunteering to teach kiddies and parents to tie a fly my son has this new interest in my fly tying activity.
He came and spent 4 + hours with me at the show tied some flies and genuinely loved it.
He says now when I go do fly stuff he wants to come so as you can see nothing is sacred.
He insisted on coming to the most recent meeting of Winter Hatches.
He helped with the tying took in the demos and worked his magic with the camera.
Here of some photos he took.

KM's photos rock :D :D :D
I like the way he gets close to his subjects, and I like even more when another young person gets interested in the pursuit.
Cheers and keep em coming! 8-) 8-) 8-)
Some people think fishing is a matter of life and death.......It's way more important than that.
