Baker's Dozen
I finished up the Baker's Dozen Balsa Bugs I made as part of my gift to my grandson for his birthday present. He will also be getting a new 5wt outfit and two boxes full of flies I tied for him. These should give him a good start on the wonderful journey of fly fishing (and hopefully fly tying). https://gifyu.com/image/SCNJY

Thanks, Steve. I really enjoyed making these since they are for my grandson. I hope to teach him a bit about fly fishing in March when we visit him. Here's a photo of the last time I took him out fish for a couple of hours off of the dock that is on the lake we live on here in Central Florida. https://gifyu.com/image/SCTSI

Thank you for the kind words, Lee. I started carving my poppers about eight months ago and find it lots of fun and a great way to get to be a bit more creative in my fly tying. Thankfully, the fish seem to enjoy them as well.Jim Smith
