Everything That Glimmers

I know that everything that glimmers is not gold, but all the shimmery stuff I've been finding on post-Christmas sale racks and even on the living room floor after presents were open has seemed like a goldmine to me.

Soon I suppose I'll be looking for brown, orange and black fur again and thinking about matching crawfish, sculpins and other dark-colored critters. For now I'm more excited about taking the shimmery stuff and creating minnow patterns and bright jigs for high water days.

Hard to beat half off $.77 for a box of tinsel. That is unless you count the free stuff off the floor!
