6 Good Reads

While we are still waiting for the snow to start falling here, there are many others who are actually socked in blizzards and ice.  Hopefully you've got the proper provisions (forget about milk and bread...) to get you through the weekend.

Here's a six pack of websites and articles to get you through Storm Jonas.  Or if you're unaffected, your weekend.

FAVORITE FLIES - WONDERFULLY OLD SCHOOL
Alec Stansell is not only is great at the vise with tying classic patterns for bass, trout, and saltwater, but also knows how to take the photographs to really show off his work.  Start and the stop and roll backwards on this website.   Enjoy.


ANGLERS'S TONIC - WINTER TASK
Greg Thomas gets geeky with his fly boxes in this post and it's a good reminder it's time for me to do the same.


MICHIGANFLY.COM GETS AN INTERN
The boys at MICHIGANFLY.COM put a call out for an intern and this one answered the questions all the right way.


TWIGWATER.COM - THE SCOTT F2 REVIEW
David Anderson sure knows how to make his website look great with excellent photography and clear concise writing in each post.  The Scott F2 7' three weight gets the treatment in this latest fly rod review.


SOUTHERN CULTURE ON THE FLY ON SOUL RIVER
Read and support.  Chad Brown of Soul River is doing great things and needs our help.


THE FLY NINJA - SOFT HACKLES AND MORE SOFT HACKLES
I've mentioned it before, but I have a real soft spot for soft hackles and The Fly Ninja's last three posts have highlighted these crazy effective patterns HERE, HERE, and HERE.  Read and then bust out that partridge skin you've been neglecting.


Enjoy your weekend.
