Lately there's been a lot of talk about fly fishing around the ol' homestead. We've done a little fishing lately (Charlie much more than I), and the idea of fly fishing seems much more entertaining than sitting around with a string in a lake.
The flies themselves are works of art. There's a whole culture based around tying flies, and while I'm sure the people that tie them wouldn't liken themselves to the comparison, fly tying seems a lot like playing with a
Barbie Styling Head.
Not that I think we'll go salmon fishing anytime in the near future, but I've been especially intrigued with salmon flies. Partly it's the actual flies, partly it's because I've been thinking about what a
GMO salmon fly would look like. Let's just file that under "inspiration marinade" for a while.
And yep, I mentioned Barbie, fly tying, and GMO in the same post.

Watched a friend tie flies once it was mesmerizing - it really is an art form. I'm an avid, novice fisher(wo)man who rarely gets a chance to go! As always, hoping to change that this summer.
