Time is flying by like sawdust in the shop. Caught this redfish a couple of weeks ago with @drew.donaghue. Great times sharing stories with him and @watson512. Six weight line on the @abelreels super did just fine on this 20 incher.
.
Looking forward to getting down there and doing it again soon!

Cosmo Couple ✨The buckeye burl paired nicely with this rio Grande cichlid. They’re a match made from the stars! The @panther_branch_bugs hatchling craw did the job. Good to see @boone1236 @livingwatersflyfishing @fly_guru and @jimkman this AM. Y’all have a good weekend!

Small nets with big personality. Experimenting with some different burls and exotics. Top is #mapleburl middle is #buckeyeburl and the bottom is #curlyredwood. Curly redwood is pretty interesting as it is salvaged from old growth california redwoods that were cutdown in the early part of the 20th century.

I built my Poquito out of some old sycamore that my dad had. The quarter sawn stock has a ton of ray fleck that dances in the light. I included a singular strip of purple heart wood to pay homage as purple is the color for pancreatic cancer awareness. I had some extra material and sent it to @cbarclayflyrodco - He built an amazing Blue Ridge Special that is a native 6’8” 3/4 rod. Chris included a second butt (pictured here) that is 4 inches shorter, both in the same sycamore as the net for the reel seats. To top it off, the latest collaboration reel with @livingwatersflyfishing and @abelreels came in at the same time. I’m a tad overwhelmed. I’m lucky to have these pieces of art as my tools of the trade.

Deep in the Heart! One of the reasons I named the company Heart Wood Trade. As a 7th generation Texan, my family has history of heroes and outlaws that run pretty deep in the Lone Star State. Just google Cowboy Claude Henry 😬
.
.
So when I got the opportunity to layout the Republic of Texas flag onto an @abelreels Super Series for @livingwatersflyfishing I new I had to have one. It’s a privilege to own this reel and its only fitting that the first fish I caught with it was our state fish, the Guadalupe Bass. Y’all stay safe out there.
