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!

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

Re: Partridge and Mole

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

Re: Yellow Spinner

If only I could get a chenille body to look that good. Mine always look like something the cat hacked up on the carpet. Are you steaming the chenille before tying?
