Tying Flies

So this past summer we took one of our annual trips to Yellowstone. We always do a trip down the Madison River for some fishing. In preparation for that - Blake ties his own flies. He has a "miracle" fly that will always work and tempt the fish. The guide we use, Mark, loves the fly and hasn't shared it with anyone - pretty funny.  But that is how fishermen are - they rarely share their best secrets.  If a fisherman is sharing anything - it's the known secrets - not the real secrets.
Blake gets out all his equipment and tools, and Angela's eyes just lit up. She was even more excited that her dad has the patience to set her up and get her going on her own fly. She thought that was the best.
