Ok the weather sucks, the waters are high and I do not feel like chucking heavy nymph rigs, call me lazy or old, so I tie flies and go thru my boxes seeing what needs to be replaced or what flies to experiment with. Well I wanted to tie up a crap load of scuds and other patterns that I use on Spring Creek and Bald Eagle, OK so I go thru my tying cabinet and low and behold what do I find, shit I forgot that I had and some of it in doubles, now what is going on. The other week I ordered some material and glue after receiving it I was going thru a drawer that holds most of my glue and head cements, well you guessed it, what I just got I had in the drawer. The sad part is I wanted to use some tack wax, gees I only had 6 of them, 4 were so dam old the wax was dry, now I just had to start looking at my materials to see what else I either forgot I had or had too much.
The results are in I either have deminta or have a hoarding issue because I just have too much stuff that I will never use in my life time. I talked to a PT nurse the other day at Geisinger who's husband I taught to tie 40 years ago at Geisinger in the evenings, he has done the same thing ordered something then to find that he already had it.
OK so here is the deal, you need some thing, ask and if I have more than I need I will get it to you, cover the cost of postage and if I need packaging cover that also and it will be yours. Please no hooks (well maybe the shit ones) or really good dry fly and wet fly hackle capes, I value the hen necks more than the rooster necks and refuse to give them up. If I have a good Metz, Hoffman or Hebert neck that I will never use all you have to do is cover the old cost not the new cost and I might part with it.
The weather here sucks and the water is high and I have a G. dam cold so life sucks for now.
