You get a line and I'll get a pole and we'll go down to the fishing hole...

My dh loves fly fishing as much as I love anything crafty and creative. He's an avid fisherman anyway, but there is something about the challenge of fly fishing that excites him. He even ties his own flies, which is a whole craft in itself. Dh has all the gear, studies techniques, practices, and can't wait for the chance to go and do. (sounds a lot like me and whatever hobby I'm currently obsessed with!)


I fish with him, but have never tried fly fishing. It looks complicated and I'm afraid I'll get tangled up in the line. Dh has always wanted me to learn so I could join him; he wants me to share in his fun and passion. I promised him I would give it a try in 2009. So, he bought me a belated Christmas present. (meaning he saw it on sale while perusing Slick Deals after Christmas...lol!)


So, here I am, ready to go fly fishing.







It doesn't do a thing for my girl-ish figure, does it?! ha! ha!

  4. Love it! Looks like you are ready to go. Maybe the waders would look slightly more girlish if you took off the tshirt--kinda the belted, heavy rubber prom dress effect. LOL!! Have fun!

  6. Cute! I do things like that with my hubby. There's no telling what he'll have me dressed in but I'm not brave enough to take photos in them!
