It’s late January, the rivers are secured or running gray, and if you resemble the majority of us, you have actually been looking out the window questioning when you’ll feel a pull on the line once again. Cabin fever is genuine, however so is the remedy: a well-lit vise, a warm drink, and a couple of hours of covering thread.
Today’s Tying Tuesday has no main thread (so to speak). We’re not developing a matched hatch box or prepping for a particular journey. Rather, we have actually gathered 4 videos that captured our attention– a diverse mix covering a meditative and articulated take on the most popular banner worldwide, a western guide staple, a tarpon fly repurposed for Excellent Lakes bass, and a silently lethal caddis pattern from among the very best in business. Call it a cabin fever sampler: something for every single state of mind and every season to come.
So clear off the desk, mark time the videos, and connect something brand-new.
