I whipped together a couple quick test patterns tonight to try out the dollar store chenille I picked up. So far, it seems pretty good to me. The material was very soft, so easy to work, it was easy to strip, to facilitate tie-in, and added a lot of bulk with minimal wraps. I look forward to fishing it and seeing how it holds up! . #flytying #chenille #frugalflytying #woolybuggers #variants #2saltwaterhook #saltwaterflies #saltwaterflytying #warmwaterflies #warmwaterflytying #saltwaterflyfishing #warmwaterflyfishing #TheSuburbanAngler #261

An old shot of the maiden voyage of my Equinox kayak. The lines and straps have all dry rotted and the seat back broke a long time ago, so, for some reason, I've been thinking some about doing a refit and getting it all back in serviceable order. . #EquinoxKayak #kayaking #refit #kayakfishing #kayakflyfishing #paddling #LakeLanier #2013 #kayakinggear #flygear #flyfishinggear #flyfishing #TheSuburbanAngler #263

The Loxahatchee River, Florida's first designated Wild and Scenic river. I'm making plans to return this summer with the Gheenoe, and I can't wait to see what takes my fly and the flora and fauna that makes this river Wild and Scenic!!! . #LoxahatcheeRiver #wildandscenic #river #brackish #streams #creeks #inlet #saltwaterflyfishing #warmwaterflyfishing #brackishwaterflyfishing #gheenoefishing #gheenoe #flyfishing #TheSuburbanAngler #264

Pretty happy to find some nice looking black chenille in the Dollar Tree this weekend. It's a bit thicker than I typically use for bream and trout flies, but for a dollar, I figured it'd be worth trying for bass and saltwater flies! That works out to around half a cent per foot, compared to fly specific chenille that can be over a dollar a foot! I'll keep you posted on how it performs. Have you found any tying materials at the dollar store? . #chenille #flytyingmaterials #flytying #frugalflytying #woolybuggers #gurglers #wormflies #flyfishing #warmwaterflies #saltwaterflies #bassflies #flytyinggear #TheSuburbanAngler #266
