RvrWader Fly Tying and Fly Fishing: Beading Around the New Fly Shop

Finally made it down to Ypsilanti to check out the newest fly shop in the area. Schultz Outfitters looks to be a great new shop. I spent a little time talking to Mike the owner and he seems like a great guy and really knows his stuff. If you are in the area you should stop in and check out the shop.

While I was in the shop I had to pick up a few supplies. One of the things I did pick up was some more brass beads. Somehow I ran out of those and didn't replenish my stock before. Well now I have a few so I can tie up some Bead Head Pheasant Tail Nymphs. I have a feeling that the Pheasant Tails are going to be my go to fly this summer. Let's hope so because I have tied up a whole bunch of them in several styles, colors and sizes. I would hate to waste all that effort. The only style I hadn't tied yet were bead heads so now that my stock is replenished it's time to get down to tying a few.

Still on my Dead kick but which album to listen to tonight. AH I know Dick's Picks Volume 14. A great set of shows recorded in 1973 in Boston, my favorite city outside of MI. From beginning to end this album is full of several great jams.
