I just remember showing up at the office, dad trying to talk me into picking flies out of the rug for 15 cents an hour and then, you know, getting bored of that 15 minutes and doing going downstairs and seeing everybody

that was my first ever job that I got paid for in the store yeah we actually got paid

25 cents an hour just we were on our hands and knees my friend and I and we were just

circling the fly bin and I thought it was sweet we had a job we were getting paid and then

after an hour when we both realized we had each made 25 cents.

My friend helped me realize that it was just a bad deal

and we needed to get out of it as quickly as possible.

Hi and welcome to the Orvis Fly Fishing Guide Podcast.

This is Tom Rosenbauer and for our Christmas podcast we have a special guest, Mr. Simon Perkins, who I've known since he was about, I don't know, five days old maybe. And Simon is from Vermont, but he is now with pro-outfitters in Montana. He's their

director of e-marketing. He's fly fishing and bird hunting guide. He's been a

flyfisher and a bird hunter all his life. He grew up

literally doing these things. So he's a very savvy, savvy angler and hunter and

and marketer. He's also director of the Orvis endorsed Kids Fly Fishing Camp at

Pro Outfitters, which by the way is totally full for 2011 and so they're thinking

about running another camp having another camp so if you're interested in the kids fly fishing camp stay tuned

and watch our website to see if they can shake loose another week to to do an extra one.

Simon, welcome.

Thanks, it's good to be here.
