Tying Journal & A Givaway

A little while ago I used the vast power of the internet and a coupon to make myself a little journal to store my fly tying recipes in.  I very seldom tie standard patterns because...- well, I like to create.  Also even if the stuff I tie has been tied before, I typically don't follow the strict ingredients listed in the published books . Of course no ordinary off the rack journal will do for this fly fishing fool, no - I had one custom printed with my art on the cover.
With the addition of my new desk I recently began filling this book with recipes and drawings of my flies.  My hope is that with this new journal I will be able to keep track of the materials I have used as well as when I fish these flies and how well they produce.  In the past I have created a few flies that did well but after loosing them at the bottom of the stream I soon  forget about them and the materials I used to tie them.  I know the rule of three's when tying flies (Always tie three flies - use two and save the third to copy later) but I seldom follow it mainly because I am lazy.  This journal was part of my New Years resolution to become a better fly tyer.  Hopefully it will help to organize my fly tying and record keeping when it comes to fly fishing.

Keeping a journal like this is a helpful tool for any serious fly fisherman.  My hope is that I will stick with it and keep it up to date.
I hesitate to offer this journal - with my art - for sale on this site due to the cost associated with having such small quantities printed and shipped but I know a few other fly fisherman are going to ask so here it goes.  If you would like a journal like this with my art on the cover - Email me here.  I will even allow you to pick the print from my available prints for the cover of your custom Journal.  Each
Now here is the tough part - the price.  I realistically can not do this for less that $30 per journal plus $4 shipping.  Unfortunately I know this is steep and I don't expect much if any takers on this but I know I will be asked about it so there you go.  I wish I could make it less, but any cheaper and I will be paying you to order one.  In the future I might try to find a better printer if interest in this peeks.

And  Now For the FREE Stuff!!!   Lightload Towels sent me another package of towels for a review I did thanks to the Outdoor Blogger Network.  Actually they sent me this extra package of towels due to the original package of towels that got temporary lost in the mail.  I will save you the boring details but needless to say, sometimes our mail service down here in the south leave much to be desired.  Anyway, I didn't feel right keeping this extra package of Lightload Towels because a mix-up in shipping so I am passing this on to my followers.  I also hope to give this great company a little buzz in the process.  If you would like to receive a FREE package of these towels simply 1: be a follower of this blog and 2: leave a comment on this post.  The opportunity to win this little gift will end at on February 10th and midnight.
