Yup. This one is getting stretched out to streamer proportions for ice-out. Nice tie, Norm!

I am intrigued by the upturned eye hook. Why do you hate the 200R? I rather like it. Lol, you've got the wrong guy. Wayne loves the 200R. It's ME !

Man, that came out great; a really nice tie. Lovely...

I love them all, nicely done. Hell, I love any hook that isn't a Tiemco 200R.

I literally can't imagine how I'd react to being caught up in the western water wars. I fished the west when I was younger, and water wasn't an issue; I had a blast. I'm a worn out and broken down farmer, but I've had the benefit of all the water I could ever use; Christ, we just got 3.5" of ra...
