Me: 30 minutes before my next meeting? I couldn't possible write an email to wrap up that thing that's been nagging me for months. Also me: But I *could* get started on that Viking longship I've always wanted to build.

USPS rates are going up significantly for small packages July 12! I'm still working out how this will impact my shop pricing, but something will have to change. Options include (continued): 1/2 #flyfishing #tenkara #fixedlinefreaks #trout

Women in Tenkara & The Outdoors: Level Line Podcast Episode 35 #tenkara #flyfishing #podcast

Women in Tenkara & The Outdoors: Level Line Podcast Episode 35

In Episode 35 of the Level Line Podcast, Tenkara Angler panelist Amanda Hoffner takes the hosting chair for an all-women conversation featuring four incredible anglers from across the country: Auna Kaufmann (Wyoming), Caitlin Costa (Connecticut), and Haley Beaupre & Victoria Hussey (North Carolina). Together, they cover everything from rod selection and fly tying to women-only tenkara events, conservation policy, mental health in the outdoors, and what makes the tenkara community feel different from the rest of the fly fishing world. A change of pace and genuinely entertaining, this one is worth the full watch & listen.

FYI, I will be at the White Mountains Tenkara Campout this weekend in pursuit of these beauties. If you need kebari ASAP, please order by Weds June 3. Orders placed Thurs and Fri will ship out on Mon. I'll be bringing these two boxes with me for the raffles. #tenkara #kebari #flyfishing

@nytimes.com Can we get an extra-hard mode on Crossplay? I win at 95% on Hard mode.

The downside of coming up with a cool password that is both strong and easy to remember is not being able to tell it to anyone who would appreciate it. #cybersecurity #correcthorsebatterystaple PS I usually let my password mgr come up with them, but I do have to invent some for work apps.

Newly launched in the shop! jayskebarishop.etsy.com Yonaka kebari - CDC futsu with anchoring and lifelike movement Peacock Badger Honryu kebari - my Peacock Badger Futsu, now with more sinking action. H/T to jmic8 on IG for the name suggestion on the Yonaka kebari.

I don't usually feel compelled to name my flies, but this CDC Futsu feels like it needs one. Any suggestions? #flytying #flyfishing #tenkara #kebari

Coming soon to the Etsy shop! I just need to tie up a few more of each and write up the listings. #tenkara #flyfishing #flytying #kebari

My #flytying resolution: get out of my color comfort zone and try some louder colors out. My paltat has been rather restrained til now. Not sure how much of this will end up in my shop patterns, but it will be a growth experience. #kebari #tenkara #flyfishing

I have a funny problem with sit down Italian restaurants. Because of my Anglo-American side, my brain classes them like other 'ethnic' restaurants. But because of my Italian -American side, when I actually get there it's all comfort foods. #foodsky

As I get in to tying season, what are some types of tenkara-oriented flies you wish were available in shops? For inspiration, here's some sketches and a prototype from a custom order that didn't pan out. #tenkara #flyfishing #kebari #flytying

Thanks everyone who's supported my fly shop. My sales are small potatoes, but it's been way more successful than I dreamed. I've sent flies to 23 zip codes in 17 states, and sold over 3x my expected best case scenario. Thank you all for the support! #flytying #tenkara #flyfishing #kebari #maps #map

My best seller dark futsu kebari is now available in size 14 as well as the original 12! Get yours here: jayskebarishop.etsy.com/listing/1880... #tenkara #kebari #flytying #flyfishing

Got samples in of my POD camp mug designs and brought one to office camp. Overall, I'm pleased with how they turned out. However, I decided to hit pause on trying to sell them while I figure out whether they fit with my core mission of tying great #tenkara flies. #flytying #flyfishing #coffeebreak

Dipping my toes in the print on demand world. Just added three mugs in the shop featuring cleaned up and reconfigured public domain artwork of trout and salmon. They all currently have a variation of the shop logo on them, but would folks prefer ones without? #tenkara #flyfishing

When you buy flies, how much do you care about the hook brand? The hooks I use for the shop are getting hard to come by, especially in the most popular size. Would you prefer: -I use the same hooks at the expense of product availability -Find comparable alternatives #flyfishing #kebari #tenkara

Check out this gorgeous leather backpack my friend Jared made: oldstonebarnleather.etsy.com/.../prairie-.... Jared is a map geek, Francophile, Kansas resident and afficianado, and a meticulous craftsperson. You can see all of that coming together in this piece. #fashion #leather #giftideas

Which one's for you? Kept myself busy at the vise last week. Added almost $300 in inventory on some of the most popular items, with more to come soon. jayskebarishop.etsy.com All tied on Firehole Outdoors barbless hooks. #flytying #flyfishing #tenkara

I was able to get three flies out of the end of this spool. These three flies, to be precise. Had to hold the end of the thread by hand to whip finish the last one but we got it done! Available à la carte or in the Tenkara Starter Collection. jayskebarishop.etsy.com #tenkara #flyfishing #flytying

Back in stock! Kebari starter collection, with an updated design on the Pale Jun kebari. This is a curated selection of unweighted flies to handle most tenkara situations. Get yours here while they last: jayskebarishop.etsy.com/listing/1884... #kebari #tenkara #flyfishing #flytying

Spending a few hours at the vise today in an attempt to restock some items in the Etsy shop. #tenkara #kebari #flyfishing #flytying
