A year ago or so, I was at a Bass Pro Shop in Shreveport looking at bait. I have always seen the fly section and in my mind, it was a special trade that I thought had to be taught. I got to looking at some fly tying starter kits and I thought, for less than $100 I could get this and if I could make some jigs, maybe I wouldn't need need to buy any. The reason for this weird thought: An old man on the river gave me 3 jigs that he made and I always had good luck catching fish on them. I purchased that kit and later I was talking to some guys that told me about an old man that had a fly shop in town. I looked the address up and went to visit this shop. The old man there was as nice as he could be, he spotted my Masonic necklace and instantly invited us in the back, made a fresh pot of coffee and showed me some basics of tying. I now enjoy tying my own stuff, now if I could just get the fish to jump on the hook, it would be all good.
