Ok, so, today my wife and daughter both saw me tying with a squirrel skin and they freaked out. It did not help that my son chased them around with it. And by squirrel skin I almost should say squirrel tube. When this thing was skinned, it was literally turned inside out and dried out in a tube.
Then, finally, my DETROIT LIONS FINALLY WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pete Humphreys tying a templedog style tube.
And a pic of that templedog. Pete said that olive flies, with copper and green flashabou do real well on the muskegon river.
Another one of the train series.

These pictures are from Speyfest 2009, put on by the guys at www.greatlakesspeyshop.com Bob Braendle does a really good job putting this thing together. Bob had a colorful cast surrounding him, including Dec Hogan, Pete Humphreys, Fred Vargas and Bruce Berry. It was a great time and everyone seemed to know each other. I met a lot of really good people! I would also like to give some props for Great lakes fly fishing for providing hot coffee (including a free coffee mug), and a fantastic Pig roast lunch!
