Thanks everyone who's supported my fly shop. My sales are small potatoes, but it's been way more successful than I dreamed. I've sent flies to 23 zip codes in 17 states, and sold over 3x my expected best case scenario. Thank you all for the support!

Sweet! Those look great.

Well, I'm honored! The palmer futsu is one of my faves, but I need to get another saddle in that color. Used up all the size 14 feathers! I still have size 12, which would probably be ok. I worry about the sink rate with that much hackle sticking out.

Thanks for choosing my flies for the swap! I've got to figure out what I want to contribute still.

Nice catch, for sure! It's wild to me how you folks get shad runs we can only dream about now here in their native East Coast rivers.

Sweet! Probably the young of the year heading downstream.

Thanks!

Sweet! Looks like a nice day on the water at a great looking spot.

Got samples in of my POD camp mug designs and brought one to office camp. Overall, I'm pleased with how they turned out. However, I decided to hit pause on trying to sell them while I figure out whether they fit with my core mission of tying great #tenkara flies.

Sweet! We like the Ukiyo in our house. If it's a big cousin to that rod, we'll probably like this one, too.

Honestly, I would recommend just composting the drops. They're often pretty astringent, and cooking just makes that worse.

Adjusted the pricing to include shipping. Otherwise, there are some situations where I'd be losing money!

Thanks for the feedback. I have a hard time anyone would want something with my logo on it.

Right now, I'm only using a base product that I've personally had experience with and am satisfied with. Let me know if anyone has any requests. Link to the mug aboe:

Dipping my toes in the print on demand world. Just added three mugs in the shop featuring cleaned up and reconfigured public domain artwork of trout and salmon. They all currently have a variation of the shop logo on them, but would folks prefer ones without? #tenkara #flyfishing

When you buy flies, how much do you care about the hook brand? The hooks I use for the shop are getting hard to come by, especially in the most popular size.
Would you prefer:

-I use the same hooks at the expense of product availability
-Find comparable alternatives

Which one's for you? Kept myself busy at the vise last week. Added almost $300 in inventory on some of the most popular items, with more to come soon.

I was on a mission. Had the end taped to the spool for the last fly. There was probably enough left for one more fly, but not enough for the tools to do their thing.

I was able to get three flies out of the end of this spool. These three flies, to be precise. Had to hold the end of the thread by hand to whip finish the last one but we got it done! Available à la carte or in the Tenkara Starter Collection.

I think you'll like them. They have a mixed reputation because qc wasn't great early on. I had maybe one dud pack, but they've been rock solid ever since.

Thanks! That's Firehole Outdoors #633 in size 12. They make a nice hook.

Awesome! Those are some beautiful fish.

Good to know. It was likely operator error! We were just passing through and didn't really ask the right questions of the shop as to what section to fish, techniques, etc. beautiful river, even though I didn't catch anything.
