Re: Happy holidays and candy cane

I've been trying to sign in all day so I could say, Happy Holidays to you and yours. That truly is a lovely wee fly.

Re: Carey specials for swap

Both look like catchers for sure. That "Royal" version caught my eye though. May have to give that a try once the water around here gets soft again.
