Fly Fishing: A Look at Lures
In the general sport of fishing, you use lures to catch your fish; however, when you are fly fishing, the word lure only marginally applies. Sure, you are trying to lure the fish to your bait, but when you are fly fishing, you use flies to entice the fish. So when we talk about lures in the sport of fly fishing, we are really speaking about flies.
You see, fish eat bugs. They rely on flies, grasshoppers, and other insects for their food source. When you are fly fishing, you attempt to mimic the look and movement of their food. Therefore, the lure that you are providing them with are called flies.
There are all sorts of fly Fishing Lures, or flies, that you can use depending on the area you are fishing and the type of fish you want to catch. Most of these lures are available at commercial retail outlets, but you can also make them yourself. The key is to have several different lures available to you so you can adapt to the situation you are fishing in.
Take a few moments when getting on the river or stream to observe the types of insects that are around you. Take a small net like they use for goldfish and skim the top of the water. See what you collect inside and then use a lure that looks like the bugs in the net.
Whatever type of fly or insect that is predominantly in the area is what the fish are feeding on. You’ll catch more fish when you lure them with what they already know are food sources. While most fish will eat whatever they can find, if they are used to seeing may flies on top of the water, they will be more apt to bite than if you dangle a caddis fly over their heads.
Your fly fishing lures should be simple. Regular fishing lures are often huge with all sorts of shiny danglers and bright colors. They, too, are meant to mimic food sources, but the idea of fly fishing is to catch fish using the natural food that is always available. That’s why flies are kept simple looking and small.
You can lure fish to your line using a variety of tools. But when you are fly fishing, lures become one of the most important tools you can have in your arsenal. Using the right lure, or fly, is so important. It can make a big difference between catching a ton of fish or just a few. Choose your lures carefully when fly fishing and reap the benefits!

Using Embroidery Floss Caddies To Get Organized
Are you tired of having a bunch of little things rolling around in your drawers? If so, I have a simple storage solution for you.
Take a trip out to your local craft supply store and purchase a few inexpensive embroidery floss caddies. There are a variety of companies that make floss caddies, such as Darice. The caddies are made of durable hard plastic and have any where from 7 to 17 compartments.
What I like most about these plastic boxes is that they are clear and I can view the inside contents easily. They can be stacked on top of one another to save on drawer or shelf space.
Let’s take a look at a few different ways that you can use them around your house to get better organized.
1. Buttons: Do you like to sew? If so, You can use the caddy to organize all of your little buttons. You can sort them by size, shape or color.
2. Sewing Supplies: Use a caddy to organize all of your sewing bobbins, needles, presser feet, straight pins, measuring tape and needle threader.
3. Scrapbooking: Use the boxes to sort and store your brads, eyelets, charms and other small scrapbooking embellishments.
4. Jewelry: The caddies make excellent jewelry boxes. I like to store my pierced earrings in them to keep them mated and protected.
5. Jewelry Making Supplies: If you like to make jewelry, then you need a few of these boxes! They are great for organizing all of your beads and jewelry findings.
6. Fishing Tackle: Do you like to go fishing? These boxes are fantastic for organizing your fishing flies, sinkers, fishing hooks and other fishing supplies.
7. Tool Box Supplies: I keep a caddy stocked at all times with various sized nails, screws, washers, bolts and other little handyman necessities.
8. Desk Supplies: If you are tired of all those little things rolling around in your desk drawer, its time to get a caddy. This box can organize your paperclips, thumb tacks, pencil erasers and staples.
9. Cosmetics Storage: I keep three of these caddies under my bathroom sink filled with my extra cosmetics.
10. Hair Accessories: If you own a lot of little hair accessory items, one of these boxes would be perfect for organizing all of your barrettes, pony tail holders and bobby pins.
It’s time to ‘think’ inside the box!
I have found that since I have organized all of the ‘little’ things in my house, that I can now find things much easier and I save time. As a busy mom and wife, I don’t have 2 hours to find a green button!
