Today I took a day away from the vise to spend some time on the web and checking out all the fly fishing forums I used to visit. While it seems like it has been a VERY long time since I have been on these sites, it is nice to see old friends still posting away. It has been fun catching up with my old cyber friends again. There are several good sites out there dealing with fly fishing and fly tying. Here is a list of some sites I really like:
http://flyanglersonline.com/
http://flyfisherman.com/
http://flytyingforum.com/
http://www.Michigan-sportsman.com/forum/
There are several more regional boards out there. Find a site that is specific to your area and you will find a wealth of information.
Speaking of technology, a great addition to you tying room would be a small tablet PC like the Kindle Fire. While the iPad may be the big name in the tablet word not everybody needs to spend the money just to have the Apple name. The Kindle's 7" screen is perfect for the bench. Books are nice but take up too much room in my opinion. Just imagine having a small screen that shows the fly and the pattern for you to look at while tying. Now if someone would write a nice app for the Kindle and BlackBerry Playbook I would be very happy. Until then looking up the information on the internet is working just fine.
