Please let me know what you think of this prototype. sling bag/lunchbox/hands-free knotting "desk"

Generic lunch box with custom neoprene reinforcements and grommets.
•Bonnand fly box display
•Hemostat and magnet fly and tippet station
•Secure tippet spools and tools
•Hot lunch with beers, water
•Sandwich box
•Spare spool and reel bra pad(s)
•rain jacket
•First aid, multi tool, radio, whiskey, weed, tobacco, DEET
•Rod holder loop with Smith Creek shoulder mount
•Emergency Towel
•Instant Coffee
•Notebook

I wanted a knotting "desk" that I could pull in front of me, with both hands free, to tie on leaders, tippets, and the meager flies I own. And carry everything else for the day, right under my casting arm, above my wading belt with brand-new River Stick.

This has been so much fun - 1 week away from the Suwannee R. road trip.

Sporterized to fish alone.

The No.6 Angry Monkey...
as tied by one.

#catfurstreamers

A possible way in to a high Suwannee.
And a dry fit of the hands-free knotting desk.

Great paddle today.

Careening off the rails, the cheap vise, cavalier attitude, and upcycled materials produces a fully disclosed example of happy cognitive decline - with an emphasis on ADHD, and fading fine motor skills. One fish... I hope I haven't jinxed it. Will it hunt for bass or redears?? It's not a pattern that comes home, and in fact, it's not a pattern at all. But it's made of cat fur...
Murray & Gracie.
Stay tuned!!
