Fairly Sound Stone

By hoofer, submitted by Hoofer.

Description

Named for a Wallowa County inspiration’s favorite Willie Nelson song, “Me and Paul.” Yeah it’s been rough and rocky traveling But I’m finally standing upright of the ground. And after taking several readings I’m surprised to find my mind’s still fairly sound.

Tying Process

It’s Clark’s yarn with a Renegade head, or a Buzzball head, or hen pheasant, or shaggy griz over rootbeer cactus which looked like an Adams to me; originally with Norm calf. Clark+Norm+Adams + an ugly mustad worm hook = the Original Package Show. Later I cleaned it up and ran out of worm hooks but the OPS is still best. Also with a mop body as a Sunday Morning Stone — no where to hold my head that it didn’t hurt — but that isnt in the same song.
