SWITTERSB’s WORD FIND FUN…PRINT & FIND THE WORDS
Well, I thought I had created a fun puzzle of sorts. So, it didn’t work. If you click the link above it takes you to the format to create the puzzle and not my version. Guess that is ok….create your own. Print and give to others at a function, kids on the camping trip, fly shop teaching session, etc. I tried to save the puzzle, but wasn’t successful with that either. Maybe you can use this as a interesting side item…the good part is you can create your own puzzle with your own generated words.

Deschutes River Pricks?
Month Back: Hey, to the two fly guy pricks that upon exiting the Deschutes River, near the Blue Hole…. cut the brake line of the car belonging to the two black fly fishermen you passed on the way out: You’re pricks! YOU may recall who you were, you met the black fly fishermen in John Hazel’s Shop (Amy working). Hazel, perhaps you remember the black guys in your shop and perhaps the pricks that were there too.
Then you pricks and only you, fished near the black fishermen on the river. The tow bill, the enormous inconvenience, the obvious act of fucking racists. I would cap your fucking ass. Don’t bother providing any qualifiers re Hazel…not the issue. Just may help someone identify them for the WCSO/OSP (Report filed). Oh, the owner of the car: Vet, multiple campaigns over seas in 15 years as Navy Seal. You pricks? I can only guess your’ pussy creds. Oh, the pricks drive a white Subaru.

“Sources tell us Mel has been out of the country all week fishing with 2 of his sons. We’ve learned Oksana’s laywers tried to schedule Gibson’s deposition — for the ongoing child custody battle — right smack in the middle of his trip. The depo’s been delayed since Mel is unavailable.” TMZ
So, for all you mates out there throwing the long line, watch your back cast in case you hook Mel or a little Melvin.

Rebel Without a Parking Spot (SwittersB)
I remarked yesterday that you need to keep your eyes open for this and that, that might lend itself to fly tying where you least expect it. This morning, I was putting the finishing touches on yet another drop box, while cleaning up my mom’s home and came upon a coiled mass of fine gold wire. Not sure what it was intended for, but there it was in a pile of stuff, tangled and a mess. I immediately saw possibilities for a small sampling and use as either ribbing or a wrapped abdomen.

Craft Wire Pupa (SwittersB)
Simple pupa pattern to demonstrate the wrapped fine gold wire for the abdomen. I took five or six strands of the wire and tied it in as well as a single strand of the fine dark olive ribbing wire. Note how much heavier the fine olive wire is than the even finer gold wires. I wrapped the gathered gold wires up the shank and then ribbed that with the olive wire. A dubbed thorax completed the fly. Another example of salvaged materials.
