Re: “Summer on the Test”

I just ordered a copy of the book from Amazon. I downloaded and read the pdf of this book several years ago. Since then I have been looking for a reasonably priced printed book. I also prefer a printed book over a digital copy when I can afford it. I found one on Amazon for $10, in very good conditi...

Re: EARLY SCOTTISH ANGLING LITERATURE

Just back from a couple of weeks at our cabin deer hunting/fly fishing. Waiting for me was a copy of Early Scottish Angling Literature and The Colonial Angler's Manual of Flyfishing and Flytying. Only perused them, looking forward to reading them. Also waiting for me was a copy of Mike Valla's Tying...

Re: Going Out of Business

I got an email 2. Glad to see we will still be able to buy hooks and stuff from Wholesale! I know I'll continue to buy from him.

Re: EARLY SCOTTISH ANGLING LITERATURE

Thanks Lou, another book to add to my library! Also ordered the colonial anglers manual 2. I love reading about fly fishing history. I've never met Darrel Martin, but I have all of his books. It must have been nice to have been able to spend an afternoon with him.

Re: Drowned Trico

I've been using Kelly Galloup's version for the past couple of years and I've had very good luck with it. I do tie mine on a 20 scud hook for better hooking. I got this tip from the 2nd video below. https://youtube.com/watch?v=YrSaMzarUA4&si=59rrKN-TRE73MC6Z https://youtube.com/watch?v=tpMI6iZNv...

Re: Partridge Skins, would you send them back?

Nice skins DUBBN. These are the replacement premium skins he sent me. No complaints on these. I only had to pay $10 extra, with free shipping. I have purchased quite a bit from this guy, but IIRC I always emailed him and was in contact with him before buying anything. Never an issue before. This tim...
