Check out this awesome Luna moth some students noticed at school this morning! 😍 #lepidoptera #moths #mothsandbutterflies #mothstodon #MothsOfTheFediverse #lunamoth

Playing around with foam this evening and pretty happy with the the result. #flytying #flytyingjunkie #flyfishing #flyfishingaddict #bassonthefly

I've been thinking about this absolute unit of a creek chub I hooked into on this minnow pattern last weekend. #flyfishing #flyfishingaddict #flyfishinglife #creektherapy

Playing around with some foam last night...surprise, surprise, another popper 😂. Not 100% happy with the head construction, but the bass ought to smash it anyway. #flytying #flytyingjunkie #flyfishing #flyfishingaddict #bassonthefly #bassflies

Filling some slots in the box with some Kraken buggers in black. Bass ought to love 'em. #flytying #flytyingjunkie #visetherapy #flyfishing #flyfishingaddict

Good afternoon at a local park. #flyfishing #flyfishingaddict #bassonthefly #getoutsideanddostuff #fishing #largemouthbass

Snuck in a few casts during my lunch break yesterday. Did not disappoint! This guy smoked a single hook Nut Job in black/chartreuse and I had another one on that was bigger, but it shook the hook 6 inches from my hand 😳. #fishing #flyfishing #flyfishingaddict #bassonthefly #getoutsideanddostuff

Found a new supplier for silicone legs and went down a bit of a rabbit hole. Got my order and already having fun with them. These sour grape legs are 🤘 in this pattern! #flytying #flytyingjunkie #flytyinglife #visetherapy #flyfishing #flyfishingaddict #articulatedstreamer #bassonthefly #troutflies

A little under 3 inches of hodgepodged streamer patterns, but It's going to fish hard...🤘. #flyfishing #flyfishingaddict #flytying #flytyingjunkie #visetherapy #articulatedstreamer #troutflies #bassonthefly

Celebrated my son's 17th birthday today. He requested ribs for dinner so I loaded up the smoker this afternoon. #smoker #barbecue #ribs

The Kraken Nut...a mash up of one of my favorite materials (Kraken Dubbing) and an OG articulated streamer pattern (Russ Maddin's Circus Peanut)...🤘. #flytying #flytyingjunkie #flytyinglife #visetherapy #flyfishing #flyfishingaddict #bassonthefly

Tied up a Nancy P variation while drinking coffee and trying not to think about all the stuff I got going on this next week. #flytying #flytyingjunkie #visetherapy #flyfishing #flyfishingaddict #bassonthefly

Been having some struggles in the chess department, but played a decent game this evening and that feels good. #chess #chesspunks #blitzchess #chessforfun #chessforlife

And that's how the wolf spider got a second cricket today. 😂 #spiders #SpidersOfTheFediverse #spidersofmastodon #wolfspiders #lycosidae #hognacarolinensis

Rescued this wolf spider just before it went into the school office this morning. hydrated it, gave it a cricket snack, and found a more appropriate spot for it after school today. Didn't seem like it wanted to leave 🤣. #spiders #SpidersOfTheFediverse #spidersofmastodon #wolfspiders #lycosidae #hognacarolinensis #arachnids

My Acanthoscurria genticulata fresh off a molt and an enclosure upgrade 😍. #tarantulas #tarantulasofmastodon #tarantulasofthefediverse #spiders #SpidersOfTheFediverse

Opened up one of the wolf spider enclosures to find that it has made an impressive burrow sometime over the week. Must be finally feeling at home. #wolfspider #lycosidae #spiders #SpidersOfTheFediverse #spidersofmastodon

Gearing up the 6 wt for some beefier topwater deliveries this spring. #flyfishing #flyfishingaddict #bassonthefly

One of my favorite suppliers added lead eyes to their lineup and I got some to try out. Going to swim these today 🎣. #flytying #flytyingjunkie #visetherapy #flyfishing #flyfishingaddict #flyfishinglife #bassonthefly

Cool ideas on how your fly behaves in the water. Definitely need to revisit some of my carp fly ties!
