Hungover Slumpbustin'

I had my work holiday party last night followed by 12% beers at Iron Abbey. Needless to say, it was a rough day at work. Thank god for cheesteaks and Gatorade.

I started feeling better on my way home and stopped by the Orvis store in Plymouth Meeting. I picked up some hooks and some natural zonker strips. They make for a beautiful Slumpbuster.



I'll be on the water freezing my butt off fishing at 6:30am on the Perkiomen Creek. Wish me luck.

And along comes a new fly box

I attended the grand opening of the Orvis store in Plymouth Meeting a few weeks back. and received a free $25 gift card. I picked up one of their Posi-Grip swing leaf boxes. I've had it with me on two trips so far and I do like it. Sometimes the hinge bends back and it's a pain to close, but it does securely hold a sh*t ton of flies. If you are interested in one, I would only suggest it for nymphs. Larger dries do get a little too much flatting of wings and hackle.

I started filling it up tonight.
