Clear Cure Goo UV System

This was also under the tree this morning.  I am excited to try the UV system!  I have been going old school using nail polish etc.  This should really be great!

Three formulas came in the kit, flex, brushable and tack free.

Berkley Parametric PC-40

Merry Christmas everybody!  I woke up to my kids screaming "Santa Came!" at 5:00 a.m.  He DID come and he brought me a very nice 8' 8" Berkley Parametric (PC-40).  One of the holy grails of the smallmouth fly rod world.

Can't wait to get it out on the river!

Kelly Galloup's Articulated Peanut Envy

I really like the dubbing spinner he uses on this pattern.  Flyfishtheozarks on YouTube does a very nice job with these flies and the videos.

Here is a link dubbing spinner I think he is using in the video.  Neat tool!
