Fly Masters had their 20th anniversary party yesterday and invited me to come and display the popper jigs again. Started tying at 9:30am and managed to get a bite to eat at 5:30pm. Whew! lots of interest. There was a lady set up across the room who is a reproduction artist and was displaying some of her work. Got the chance to talk with her a bit after all the commotion slowed down. She is a local artist and does all the work herself. She works as a sales rep for some company for a real job and does this on the side. She comes past Lafayette often and said if anyone wanted a fish recreated she wouldn't have any problem delivering it. Her e-mail address is mbutler@driftwoodreproductions.com and her phone # is 812-322-9852 if anyone is interested!

Gary;
I really wanted to go to their big party but I totally forgot about it! I tried that website you gave us about the artist but it either isn't totally up yet or I had problems with it anyway.
Glad you're back and had a great time in FL!
Pat

Gary: so, did you actually sell some jigs, or just have lookers? I wanted some of that prime rib, but the Mrs. was out of town and I was on baby wrangler duty. Sophia would have been fine in FlyMasters. Claire would have every fly they had in a big pile on the floor in about 0.2 seconds. Pat: try this link: www.driftwoodreproductions.com/I think her site is still under construction. |

I only had 2 sets for display left and flymasters ran out so I sold one of mine. At full price, almost paid for the gas to get there!

Good for you, man! I doubt you can quit the day job, but if nothing else, it is nice to have the recognition, via sales, for a cool product.

My guide in Grant Capt. Terry was so impressed with the poppers I brought down to fish he emailed me about buying a set. I set him on a course to River Road Creations he bought the salt water set and has been showing them off to his friends. Let's see if central Florida be comes the new sales hot spot.
good luck Krebs
