STF Glass Shrimp
Let’s return to one of my favorite ways to unwind – freestyle tying on the vise! Admittedly, there wasn’t much actual ‘tying’ involved, but the process of building this fly without a pattern was such a welcome meditation during an otherwise very busy week. I hope that feeling of peace and relaxation permeates the screen and makes it all the way to you, dear reader, wherever you are across the globe.
