Check out the "Bully Bugger"

To honor Theodore Roosevelt on his 150th birthday (can you really call it a birthday or should it be the 150th anniversary of his birthday?) the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership and famed fly tyer Craig Mathews have created the "Bully Bugger".
The fly bears a remarkable resemblance to the 26th President of the United States, at least when it comes to his spectacles.
Mathews will tie a limited edition of 150 Bull Buggers and 149 of those will be mounted in hand-made wooden shadowboxes and given to those who donate $150 or more to the TRCP. The first in the series will be custom framed and auctions on eBay beginning on Dec. 10 and lasting 10 days. Click here for more information.

Too bad Craig got stuck making such an ugly fly.

Does anyone other than me actually read these blogs?

I read this blog because Brett is an old friend of mine. I just don't comment much!
