The damnedest thing happened yesterday. I was helping a customer at the store, and he looked at me and said “You’re Jake McGlothlin, right?”. It surprised the hell out of me. Turns out he has been a loyal Chi Wulff fan for a long time, and is looking forward to Swing the Fly as well. Big shout out to Dwight here in Bozeman.
That definitely made my day.
Fly fishing blogging is an interesting beast. Ask anybody in the game and I doubt they will say they are in it for the fame and fortune. I’m certainly not. That being said, it feels damn good to be noticed and hear someone say they enjoy your work.
And it is work. A lot of thought, planning and effort goes into a fly fishing blog. But it’s worth it. You guys make it worth it. It’s a pretty damn interesting group that reads this blog, and I hope it always stays that way.
I hope I get the opportunity to meet more of you guys in the future.
