I have been in a little funk lately, weather has been lousy, a couple rough days at work...but tying has a way of easing the mind.

Here are 3 of the 5 I finished since the weekend, a PT Red Sandy variation [no red wool butt and head] a Lord James Murray and a Popham, on 1/0 and 2/0 GS hooks. Just adding to the collection for a future, someday, hopefully, who knows when salmon trip!

You do sound a little dejected John but your tying hasn't suffered. I know all about funk at this time of year, there is very little chance that I'll get to fish until late March and then water levels can be a factor. I'm not into fishing when ice restricts the ability to cast, at least once each winter I do it in a river that is lake outflow but it's not a whole lotta fun.

We are still losing over 3 minutes a day of daylight as we plunge toward December 21st. Then it's the doldrums until January 21st, at that time there is a perceivable gain in daylight and the march toward spring begins. Remember that you need to live like you're only going to get one time around in this world.

Hang in there buddy
