As is obvious from my sudden lapse in blog posts, things have been pretty slow to non-existent on the fishing front since the trout season closer. This is the norm for me around this time of year, when the weather gets suddenly colder and rainier and the fishing slows down.
That doesn’t mean I’ve got nothing to write about though. As we get some drier days and the crowds thin down I’ll be getting out for some fishing here and there. Also, this year I’ll be spending more time on the fly tying bench restocking my supply and experimenting with new flies.
In fact, I’m currently in the midst of doing some research for a little side project: building a custom fly tying station. I haven’t quite decided yet whether this will be a full size fly desk, or a smaller, more portable tying station. There are some neat ideas out there and I plan on combining them to make something of my own. Here’s a couple links I have been looking at with some neat plans:
Fly Tying Desk
Portable Fly Tying Bench
The idea is that this will cost very little – possibly using nothing but scrap wood I have lying around my garage. I’ll post some more details and pics as I flush out the design and start working on it.
