A nice little homage to a region in Maine, the Androscoggin River, and a mythical past. Thank you, Norm.

There's something about that photograph that keeps drawing me back. I'm not sure what it is. Maybe it's that I'm looking at Rube Cross, one of the seminal tiers of the glorious Catskill age (of any age), in his natural environment. But maybe that's it, his 'natural environment' is so... provincial; ...

What a great idea! I've got half a capes worth of split nails in small sizes, this is perfect for them. Thank you, Norm.

Beautiful tie, Norm.

It's a smoke fly on steroids. I'm stealing this pattern; it will work up here.

...you had me at Teriyaki.

The wing came out great! Nicely done.

That's like walking into an old barn and finding a 1969 GTO Judge convertible under a moth eaten tarp, for $100.

I don't use enough ostrich; it just never occurs to me to tie with it. I need to change that.

I give up...
