How did I not see this before now? Oh yeah, I've been away. Great resource. As to copies of manuscripts, as long as there is no copyright violations, it would float my boat, even if it doesn't float Doug's.

Thanks for posting this.

All three flies are beautiful, but the first one just rocks my boat. Recipe please. I really like the hook on the last two as well. What is it? Again, beautiful dressings on all three.
