I'm amazed at how close your two claret materials are in hue. Mine are usually so far from one another they look like two different colors completely. That's another beauty, Norm.

That's a beauty, Norm. Makes me wonder what it would look like wet.

Are you trying to say that REE is old?

If so, he would be right. I'll be 77 next month.

77-schmeventy seven! You're young at heart! New eyes! New outlook! You're going to live forever! Go fish! ...a lot!

If the rivers would ever fall into some kind of fishing shape I would.

Nicely done. That's a lot of material to be put on a small hook and you did it well.

And yes, it's still raining. The first 12 days of the month and we've already had 5.5" of the stuff. It was pouring down at 5am this morning, too. If it ever lets up I'll go check the rain gauge. The damn lawn still thinks its May! ...irritating; I'm tired of mowing grass! Wait... it gets bett...

Yeah, I'm definitely behind you a couple decades fishing wets.

Looks like another great book from Mike. Ray, beautiful dressings in tribute to Mark. Nice to see Bill's flies in print as well.

That was gonna be my 2d guess.

Those look like they will do the business. I'm a fan of mole as a dubbing, thanks to Donald. Touch dubbed?

Wayne, do they show a size preference? What size are you tying?
