Super Secrets

TOO COLD TO FISH ??
The Neighbors Tie !
fly designs revealed
-------
.. The good folks at PARKS' FLY SHOP are busy working away at replenishing the empty bins in their fly section.
.. They have generously taken some time to post videos on YouTube that reveal some of the secrets for their custom flies that are in high demand.
.. As noted on their web site there will be a fly per week through Spring. If Spring arrives late we can anticipate a fine collection of instructional videos from these guys.
.. Four videos are up on the home site, (CLICK HERE.) The videos emphasize both the techniques used and the reasons for them. These flies are the same ones available in the custom bins at their shop in Gardiner, Montana.
.. The ever-expanding collection of custom flies at Parks' represents a return to their historical roots. The business was established in the late 40's as "Merton Parks Custom Fly Tying." They opened for business as a full-service fly shop in 1953.
.. We appreciate the effort made by these folks and eagerly anticipate the video about their wildly successful Prom Queen Salmonfly. Thanks guys.
