Earth Day 2013

Happy Earth Day 2013 everyone.

Suggestion for the day: Save some cool material from the trash. Take that material and tie awesome fly.

Remember "Recycle, Repurpose, Reuse".

Fly Caddy

Paper Towel holder. Cheap and a common yard sale item.

Paint roller cover for smooth surfaces. Also cheap

I was looking for a way to organize flies as I finished them on the vise.

Streamer Thought

Thinking about a Slump Buster (Great pattern thanks John Barr) and saw some guys online had added beads to different streamers. This in a size #10. The beads to give a lot of color to a wider flat profile.

What do you all think? Reply and speak your mind :)

Wire Tip (Ease Material Organizer)

Recycled  electrical wire from a lamp. Cut the ends off the cord. Be sure the power is NOT connected :)

Knife or wire striper.

From a 12" piece strip off one end.

Strip off the other end. Leave the insulation in the middle. Leave 1 to 2 inches of insulation.

Now you can pull out one 12" piece of wire at a time. It keeps the wire neat and easily organized till ready to use.
