I graduated from LSU this morning. My brother, who's a fly fishing guide, got a buddy of his to do this custom artwork on a new fly box full of redfish flies he tied. I think it's pretty awesome and unique. Just thought I'd share.

That's a very thoughtful gift for a brother. I think I got a bottle of whiskey.

Looks good but I would want to display it and not scratch or ding it up by using it.

Yep, that's the plan. I'll move the flies to another box, but this box is going on the shelf in my study. Too pretty to mess up.

Looks great. I am interested in fly fishing for reds, can you show the flues he tied for you?

As soon as I get a chance, I'll send some pics of the flies inside.
