re: The Fly Fishing Thread: Questions, pics, discussion all here

Hunters are your best friend. Deer tails. Ducks, turkeys, etc.
A customer comes and fishes with guides out of the shop my son works at every year. One day, the customer didn't have a trip booked. His guide told him to go fish with my son when he got off work in the shop. They fished a couple of afternoons. A couple of months later, the customer shipped my son a box of tying supplies from a fly shop he was liquidating. (He was the money. The sweat equity partner had died). There was easily $2,000 of retail tying supplies. The next winter, another box came. Needless to say, he makes time to fish with his friend when he makes his annual visit.
