I gotta say the Baits Motel is a total riot. My wife son and I got the private show when we stopped in Casper to meet Don. Really got to see enough to blow our minds in Don's studio. 10/0 Adams, flex-O flies, size 32 fly, rope dubbing lesson and the Great Wall of Whiting. Once your spouse sees that, you'll never be accused of having too much tying stuff. Watching the "Tanflies" (local youth fly fishing club in Cotter, AR) standing around Don doing his Baits Motel act at Sowbug had to be one of the highlights of the trip. There's no sweeter sound than kids laughing.

Like I toldya', if you want 'unusual', you gotta see the Baits Motel: Alien flies- I got'em. Disemboweled flies- I got'em. Australian 'match the hatch' patterns- I got'em. Deep-sea grouper flies- I got'em. Saber-toothed Rats- I got'em And your comment about "too much time"...that's 2nd to "You're having too much fun." But don't take my word for it- read the testimonials on my web site. And ask Jyrry Gyldsmyth, he's been through it, and it made him demented, too..
