First off I have 2 very deserving shout out bloggers! I have been following these both since I very first started. So lets get to it.
1. My leaky waders -- I have really enjoyed his blog! From his try at winning a new rod from owls contest (came in 2nd but my opinion should have won) to his love for life and beer. I got to see pics of his fishing outings and his goals for 2011. He is a great writer of poetry and I am sure you guys will all enjoy his blog. He has been around since 2009 and about time got some good recognition!
2. Reversed Parachute -- From a fly tying perspective how does this guy only have 23 followers?? He has only been blogging since Sept of 2010, so that may be the cause. Roy Christie is his name and has been published in 11 magazines so far over the years he has been tying. He also has his own website at http://www.reversedparachutes.com/ His flies are very original and fun to tie. If you look at fly tying clips and find his name you will see a lot more of his patterns. He was the first tier I knew by name when I started. Never met him of course but saw an article in fly tier he wrote and I was HOOKED from there. (Yes the pun was intended)
Website shout out goes to http://www.realisticflytying.net/ .. This is another amazing realistics tier! Fred Hannie has been tying for years and years and has some amazing patterns that I can tie with his instruction and step by steps. Which is saying a lot!! He has an instructional CD where he teaches you how to do things step by step.

ReplyDeleted.nash - I also have been really enjoying following along with you and your blog. I really appreciate your poetry...and sauerkraut juice drinking. ;)
ReplyDeletesauerkraut juice?? You are a better man than I Nash!!
ReplyDeleteLeaky should have won the contest, he is way more talented that me. I just got lucky, real lucky. I have noticed that owl still dosent have you blog advertised on his. do we need to get onto him??
ReplyDeleteOh don't get me wrong you both put a crap load of effort into it and I did enjoy your posts! Owl has mentioned me already on his blog at http://www.owljones.com/2011/05/05/three-things-you-need-to-know/ That is enough for me!
ReplyDeleteI do look forward to seeing some great fish from your new rod and some great posts in your future.
d. nash -- I am cheering your blog now! I got some bitch creek from teton brewing and some blue moons. It has been a great day of yard work and enjoying maybe my last 70 degree day here in vegas for 5 months or so months
