Partridge and Pearsall's ..........Pick a Color

I'm off work today for the Federal holiday. It was a brutal 2 degrees again here this AM in Central Oklahoma. Wanted to get some time at the vise, which lately has been far too infrequent, before watching our 13-year-old granddaughter play basketball this afternoon. I thought I would pull some feath...

Re: Leisenring for sale

Alright--victory for the home team! Congrats REE. I thought about bidding, thinking it could be good to have a 2nd copy that would be great for the next Secret Santa Swap. I'm glad I didn't drive up the price. I'm sure the seller is surprised/disappointed!

Re: Leisenring for sale

So, the opening bid of $22.00 was the eventual winner; what a steal for that person! I hope it was a Flymph Forum member. A few years ago, $100.00 was a good price for this book.

Re: "Drinking Straw Wrangler" (DIY tying tool)

Hi Dana,

About your advice on the tea: Is that Barry's Tea (Gold) in the red box or Barry's Tea (Irish Breakfast) in the green box you're recommending?

Thanks- Ken

Re: Leisenring for sale

Ray, Perhaps a look at the Contents page from the 1971 edition will answer my question. It appears the later edition has the 12 chapters from the original book (Part 1, The Art of Tying The Wet Fly) and then 3 additional chapters (Part 2, The Art of Fishing The Flymph). Does your 1941 edition consis...

Re: Leisenring for sale

There is also another copy offered as a "Buy it Now/Best Offer" listed for $45.95. Does anyone have a copy of Leisenring's original book, The Art of Tying The Wet Fly (from 1941)? Does it have material that isn't in the follow-on book from 1971, The Art of Tying The Wet Fly & Fishing T...
