    Life is expensive... but it does include a free trip around the sun.

    No one has jumped on the Elk Hair Caddis, yet? I'm really surprised. I thought that would be the first chosen. I could be cheesy and pick it, but I'm not. Waaaaay too simple.

    I want to do a new (and somewhat strange) pattern called the TTFU (The Thing From Uranus). It is definitely off the beaten path. I'll do it on a size 8 streamer hook.

    I'll post pics as soon as I get one tied correctly. You're gonna love this.
