Green Drakes Are The Best

Nature is amazing. I think it’s fun to change it up.

This is one of many Drawings I have done of local insects. This of course is the world famous Ephemera guttulata aka Green Drake aka Meat and potatoes. Beautiful.

Hand-Held History

20140309-183456.jpg
I am a sucker for #oldschool stuff, be it #motorcycles, #watches or fly fishing gear. I know that this reel is far from the best, but it served its purpose for someone very well. Look at the wear of the finish and the dirt on the handle from this persons thumb and fingers.

What stories would this reel tell? How about the angler? Where in the world has this reel been? To me, Fly fishing should always more than one’s fish count.
