This week’s Saturday Shoutout showcases two fly tying blogs that are updated regularly and sure to motivate you at your vise. Check out FrankenFly and FloatFisher for good fly pattern recipes and videos.

FRANKENFLY – “WHERE FLY TYING COMES TO LIFE”

Paul Beel, creator of FrankenFly, caught my attention a while back with his passion for fly tying and his unique blog name. It’s a relatively new blog but he’s been Johnny on the spot with consistent postings for quite a while now. I’ve been digging the patterns he’s been posting lately. Check it out, I think you’ll like.

FLOATFISHER

The FloatFisher is another fly tying content heavy blog out there that I’ve been enjoying. You all know that I’m a sucker for fly tying websites. This one also is regularly active and a great place for finding pattern ideas for filling your fly box.

Have a great weekend everyone. Thanks for tuning into Gink & Gasoline. We appreciate each and everyone of you.
