I would like to see more of your flies.
Do a search for "Lee Wulff Trout Unlimited", the name of our local TU Chapter. If you click on any of the available Newsletters, there should be one of my write ups in every Newsletter for the last 10 + years.

But it says he is retiring, and sadly some families have kids that want nothing to do with the business to keep it going. That's why Cabela's sold to Bass Pro. I'd like to see one paychec...
