WHY, I Ask, WHY

I think I have an addiction issue to nice toys, and should not hang around others who have the

same obsessive compulsive disorder that I do. It seems each time I am around them, I get a new idea

that I "need" or should have another complementary item to go with my other camera gear.

This time looking at a somewhat lighter, more compact camera to have with me all the time to capture events when out and about. Although I love the large Nikon and all the multitude of lenses, it get very heavy to lug around at times. this is pretty light and easy , and I would only have a couple of lenses to compliment the camera, for most of my shooting.

We will see what the next couple of weeks brings. Stay tuned…..

Czeched Out Hares Ear Nymph by Dakota Angler

If you not checked out Dakota Anglers and Outfitters site, you are missing. Hans has a nice series of tying videos. He has a lot of nice patterns for the South Dakota area, as well as the Bighorn and other great Montana fisheries. I did not count the number of videos, but it numbers well over 5o.

Came across the Czeched Out Hares Ear and though, here is another great simple pattern that I need to have in my box. I just love flies that have those simple little hot spots of color on them.

Short little watch, check it out, as well as some of the others.
