Our 9yo boy, Luke, is a fishing machine. He has already caught a wide variety of Indiana species. His equipment inventory trumps mine by far now. Lol. His newest interest is tying flies. He uses them for panfish below a bobber or flick them on the surface, as a fly rod is yet to come. This is all his own idea and work, stemming from watching some videos. So, he would like to see if he can share some of his talent, and sell a few hand tied flies. I told him I would post them and see what happens. After the cost of an envelope and stamp, there isn't much profit to be made, although that is not his goal. Thanks. Price is $2/each, shipped.

Hmmm.... Interesting. Does he have a fly vise and some of the tools to do it? If not, let me look and I can let you borrow them (If I can find them).

Luke has tied up another round. He has made a couple sales so far and getting a big kick out of doing this. Thanks.

I just received 5 from Luke and wow fantastic. Can't wait to use them. I helped out a little and paid double of asking price just to encourage and help out. My wife teaches 9 year old (4th graders) and was impressed by the quality and colors. Great job Luke.

He is doing really good at saving his money, and doesnt have to blow it just because it's in his pocket. We let him buy some of his own fishing stuff, since it's a positive influence. We let him keep a few bucks and put the rest right in his bank account.

Think he could make some with lead heads for ice fishing Not sure how involved he wants to get. Lol. If we can get them made up, he can tie them. I dont do lead work, but always had an interest. Guys at work snagged the tons of wheel weights we had accumulated over the years. New wheel weights aren't pure lead anymore, either are most sinkers. My dad has a big pyramid boat anchor and at least one other lead anchor I can get. Dont know if 100# is enough or worth getting involved with. I run across electric smelting pots once in a while, so will kick it around. I would do it for bullet casting, but again, probably dont shoot enough to make all the hassle worthwhile.

Treetop, what size are you wanting? Deadeer, I can source the bare lead head hooks with the lead already in place.

Maybe 1/4 oz or just a bit heavier Iโd be using them on perch and eyes so Iโd like a hook big enough to tip them with a minnow but not so big a perch canโt get it in its mouth.

I hope planning on using Lukes flies tomorrow, but there is 90% chance of rain. I was hoping to take a day off and head to my brothers place. Get the line wet and check two stands.

Luke has advanced greatly in his hobby. I suggested he put a few more on the sale board to help finance his hobby. He has since taken up the fly fishing sport. He is wanting $2 for the small ones and $3 for the larger ones. He can surely do custom ones if you ask or can show him a pic of interest. Thanks.
