I wish I could report back to you that I have been so busy traveling and fishing new waters that I have just not had time to post anything, but that's not the case. I have been busy, just not on the water. Once the warm weather showed up here in Colorado Springs, I needed to get some plants in the ground. I have done some garden work, but I still haven't finished that either. With summer just around the corner, I plan to get out more and actually have some stories and more photos for you guys out there. For now, I will leave you with some photos of some flies tied by Ben Furimisky and Shea Gunkel this past weekend at Ghillies Fly Shop's Anniversary party . I have 4 videos of Ben tying his flies, including the Extended Foam Drake. Yes, Elton, I was wanting to do tutorial for you as requested, and then realized that it would be even better if the creator of the fly showed us all how it's done. So be on the lookout for those soon.
