Still raining......

Hi all, I thought the rain would finally stop but no such luck. Yesterday evening, I stopped by the fly shop and hung out with the owner and tied flies.

Hi Dale,

I was just at that bridge and visited the shrine that is just to the right of the bridge. Your picture captures the beauty of the area. Thanks for posting and sorry you could not go fishing.

Re: Mystery Feather Soft Hackle

Hi Dougsden, I have done a lot of walking in Nikko. It is an amazing place and the mountain streams are beautiful and crystal clear. I am probably not going to bring any feathers back due to customs and legal issues but it would be nice if I could. The under furs of bear, deer, and squirrel are used...
