Re: New Flymph Hook
Carl - thank you my friend, just what I need: more hook adventures!!! :o :shock: . Bob - Richard Jefferies has mega good hooks, I’ve bought more from him than any of you would care to know.

Re: Hackle Names vs Colors
The reason we use the word 'dun' is because it can be annunciated -cleanly, crisply. Without the word 'dun' in our vocabulary we'd all be walking around trying wrap our tongues around blae.

Re: Spindrift Pink Killer Bugs
