An Evening with Ed

Winter is definitely here in terms of the short days - temperatures however dictate otherwise. I find it kind of disturbing wondering outside feeling comfortable in a t-shirt in late November. Could this be the calm before the storm I ask ...
Anyway - frantic preparation for GAIA assessment aside it's time to get back to actually fishing and tying which has been sadly lacking over the last few months. I bought Ed Engle's "Tying Small Flies" last year and have really just glossed over it's pages - picking it up again a few days ago I'd forgotten what a gem of a book this is. I've poured over the pages building inspiration which I've finally got around to putting into some practice. That's winter wrapped up then !
