Re: Sanders' March Brown Soft Hackle (tyed by DOUGSDEN)
I once said that in my next life I wanted to come back as a bare hook in Carl's vise. That still stands, but it won't hurt my feelings one bit if I land at Doug's house.

Flaws and defects
In the top drawer of my tying desk, I have an old Wapsi fly company head cement jar. Since I started tying seriously in 1986, any defective hooks found in packages would be stored here…. Saltwater to midges, every manufacturer and country are represented here.

Thanks- Ken

Re: Question - Looking for full Melanistic Pheasant skin
So Ray, I had a thought: Seeing as you really need a melanistic pheasant, and Mrs. Letumgo is in avid birder, why not procure a melanistic chick from one of the many hatcheries online offering them?

Very nice, Bill, per your usual. I am curious: do you guys have cornutas out in your neck of the woods? We have a highly prolific hatch specifically on the Lackawaxen river in Northeast Pennsylvania, and the “big” beaverkill between Roscoe and Cook Falls. On both rivers, these insects start hatching...
