Re: EARLY SCOTTISH ANGLING LITERATURE

Thanks Lou, another book to add to my library! Also ordered the colonial anglers manual 2. I love reading about fly fishing history. I've never met Darrel Martin, but I have all of his books. It must have been nice to have been able to spend an afternoon with him.

Re: Drowned Trico

I've been using Kelly Galloup's version for the past couple of years and I've had very good luck with it. I do tie mine on a 20 scud hook for better hooking. I got this tip from the 2nd video below. https://youtube.com/watch?v=YrSaMzarUA4&si=59rrKN-TRE73MC6Z https://youtube.com/watch?v=tpMI6iZNv...

Re: Partridge Skins, would you send them back?

Nice skins DUBBN. These are the replacement premium skins he sent me. No complaints on these. I only had to pay $10 extra, with free shipping. I have purchased quite a bit from this guy, but IIRC I always emailed him and was in contact with him before buying anything. Never an issue before. This tim...

My thoughts too.

Re: Partridge Skins, would you send them back?

He replied, said I ordered pro grade, which is the lowest grade and that there was a 30% increase in cost this summer. Gonna send them back and get a couple more of better quality, and higher cost. Crazy how 1 of the same quality was so beautiful. Oh well.

Re: Partridge Skins, would you send them back?

Thanks. Honestly, that's what I was thinking i should do. Think I'll email him and send him some pics.

Email with pics has been sent. I hate to complain, but 2 of the skins are simply sub par.
