Tying a Chief B Crayfish by Davie McPhail
The more I drill down into his YouTube site the more I learn.
Crawdad patterns have always been, in my opinion, a trade-off between overly complicated and the other end of that spectrum. Some tyers get carried away I feel. A simple woolly bugger ought to suffice. But then add in bead chain eyes, some shell back and antennae, the list goes on and on. And what about tying in claws? Yikes!
Davie has come up with a possible middle ground. But you decide. I leave it to Davie:

A Fly for All Seasons
Generic, simple, no need to name it. tying flies such as this one are, for me, like popping bubble wrap. Relaxing, no need to concentrate. Just chill and enjoy.

Blue River Anglers Winter Lodgings Deal in Sulphur OK
An offer for discount lodgings near the Blue (for those of you who want to spend a few days in comfort).
Blue River Fly Fishers,
I'm a new participant, I've monitored and enjoyed your communique for several years. I'm impressed with the knowledge and fellowship of your group. I've fished the Blue for many years and, like you, appreciate her beauty and innocence. Most recently I've focused on the new catch and release area and I am excited about it's potential. But, I fear for the Blue's future as the flow dwindles with each new year.
Still, I want to extend to all of you a welcome and a warm place to stay when fishing the Blue. I have a small Inn in Sulphur, http://www.sulphurspringsinn.com, just 25 minutes from the Blue. Winter is a down period, so I'm extending to all of you a place to stay for all fly fishers at the reduced rate of $60 per night from November through February. We'll provide a warm bed, breakfast, good conversation and tying vise if desired.
Tight lines,
Charlie Wright

why this blog?

- Fly fishing...why? No good reason that I could take to court and hope to win with. I just like it. Helping others; now that's something I can get behind and participate in.
