Horse Creek

[Red Rooster]

This may not mean much to anyone here @ CFF. but it is a milestone for me. Monday of this week 7 doz. of Red Rooster f-n-f fly's {custom order} was delivered to Horse Creek Marina.A very small tier...{me} goes up there on a trip...make friends with Thomas {guy that runs Marina} I give him a gift of some fly's {Carter's specials} he looks at them and then places an order.It was not my intention to sell one fly just share a gift because of his kindness to us..{boat burnt bearings} on the way up to Dale Hollow, {put us a boat short} this guy {Thomas} hands us his keys to his personel boat and would not take a dime from us! Here is a thought that has been running through my mind...There are 4 or 5 guides that go into that store...they buy one of our fly's and just one client catches a 6lb Smallmouth...and it's on...it won't take long for the word to spread...I'm praying for that...will keep you up dated on any news from there.We have our first f-n-f tourney on Lanier this Sat. hope our fly shows well there!!! Later Robbie

Thomas is a superb gentleman and his cousin Audie is a blast to talk to as well.

You know while I was there....I kept thinking back to all those tv shows Billy did on the Dale,and it came to my mind how many places I stopped at and fished had he haunted??? One of the stories { I was told} as you go into the creek at the marina Billy caught a 10 lb smallmouth on Christmas eve. Howd you like to tie into that dude just once...a fish of a life time. Hey I started this little fly business never knowing it would take off to where I could not keep up and still can't. My colors are diffrent {targeting spots} I guess having a demand is a good thing. Now have an idea about the colors smally's like and that opens a whole new world to me!!!Next year I hope to be prepared with a stock pile of inventory..and maybe I can start fishing again. emoRolleyes

I've never heard of Red rooster flys... But Horse Creek use to sell Killer flys, they had Matzui red circle hook.... Horse Creek is off of 52 located between Livingston and Celina...
