Re: Silk Color
Rex, How nice it is to hear from you again! How have you been? Silk color is usually determined by the pattern you wish to create! I have been re-reading Skues and he talks about how important it is to have your silk "harmonize" with the fur that you are using to make the pre-spun bodies ...

Re: Day Drinking Caddis and beer review.
It says in the Wasatch corporate description that 'Polygamy Porter' is made with Willamette hops. I grow Willamette here; the entire back of the shop and the ell are completely covered in hops every summer. I had a cousin in Seattle send the Willamette rhizomes in the mail. Along with the Willamette...

You're really Andy Warhol in disguise, aren't you.
In my next life I would like to possess such discipline and commitment as I see in your box; they're almost too pretty to fish.

Re: "Drinking Straw Wrangler" (DIY tying tool)
Nice! That vise is imbued with good karma! Enjoy.
I've got a friend down in Machias who won a TRV in a TU raffle; he hates it (he's a Renzetti man), but he refuses to part with it. I'll keep working on him.

Hey, Ray; how are you liking the new HMH TRV? If I was ever tempted to mothball my Regal, it would be for the TRV.

Re: Feted Green
Wow! It's like the Green Hornet, the Green Lantern, The Frank Gorshin Riddler (probably not the John Astin Riddler...), all did a big Vulcan mind-meld thing and created this fly! This fly needs Batman and Robin chyrons: "POW! BAM! SOCKO! ...I'm sure there were others, but I forget. Now do a Kat...

No, no; no 12 step program necessary. Overindulge! Wallow around in your afflictions until your fingers get all pruny with the juices of a life well spent! Congrats on the book! I got the same edition from Ken Callahan a few years back but I think I paid $65 for it. Maybe it was $45...

Re: Sanders' March Brown Soft Hackle (tyed by DOUGSDEN)
I once said that in my next life I wanted to come back as a bare hook in Carl's vise. That still stands, but it won't hurt my feelings one bit if I land at Doug's house. Outstanding work, Doug!
