Re: Down-and-across without being seen

Re: One For Mark.
Great post and great fly--I think the L'il Dorothy is my favorite of all of Mark's ties I've seen over the years. If I were a betting man, I'd wager that the orange wets out to a nice "shuck" color if you're fishing it as a sulphur.

Re: PMD Emerger
Ray--
What Hank said--I suppose "Seal Prostate Specific Antigen might take this forum to a whole 'nother level.
