A fly that just might convert some of the "purple haters" that visit here!
Thanks- Ken

Re: Going Out of Business
Wondering how many received the e-mail from the new owner of WFC?

Re: Podcast
Wayne,
You enjoyed some great days on the water. I can't comment about Davey or Oliver's feelings toward you; however, I'm 100% certain Jesus will never hate you!

Re: Annual Arctic Grayling
Wayne,
I've been fortunate to catch Grayling twice. I caught 1 in the Joe Wright Reservoir in CO and I caught some in a lake near Pinedale, WY, but I can't remember the name of the lake.

Re: Annual Arctic Grayling
Wayne,
Did you catch your Grayling in a lake/reservoir or in a stream?
Thanks- Ken

Re: Must watch video
Certainly no "reel expert", but yes, it looks like a RHW Hardy Perfect with a circular line guide that probably has a smokey gray agate in the ring.

Re: Partridge Skins, would you send them back?
Please let us know how the "Premium" skins look. I'm pretty sure I recently received an e-mail with a newsletter from the shop involved here. Surprising, as my previous buys of skins from this shop have been great transactions--including a Golden Plover!

Re: Partridge Skins, would you send them back?
My guess is if you saw those 3 necks in a fly shop, you would only have purchased 1 of them. Seems strange that "Pro" is the lowest grade; what is the better grade called?
Bottom line: you're not happy, so returning them is the right answer.

Re: Rods for fishing flymphs and soft hackles
Doug,
A 9' Heddon with 2F ferrule is a good choice. I fish mine with a Hook and Hackle DT-6F line. A Cortland Peach DT-6 would pretty much be interchangeable. I have also used a Cortland Sylk DT-6. I dream of acquiring a Heddon Model 60, but for now, I'm using a Model 10.
