Re: Sanders' March Brown Soft Hackle (tyed by DOUGSDEN)
I once said that in my next life I wanted to come back as a bare hook in Carl's vise. That still stands, but it won't hurt my feelings one bit if I land at Doug's house.

Flaws and defects
In the top drawer of my tying desk, I have an old Wapsi fly company head cement jar. Since I started tying seriously in 1986, any defective hooks found in packages would be stored here…. Saltwater to midges, every manufacturer and country are represented here.
Why? I have no idea.

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: Question - Looking for full Melanistic Pheasant skin
So Ray, I had a thought: Seeing as you really need a melanistic pheasant, and Mrs. Letumgo is in avid birder, why not procure a melanistic chick from one of the many hatcheries online offering them? It would be a huge win-win-win for the Tucker household. Mrs. Letumgo gets to add another feathered f...

Re: New flybox loaded from 12s to 18s for testing!
Very nice, Bill, per your usual. I am curious: do you guys have cornutas out in your neck of the woods? We have a highly prolific hatch specifically on the Lackawaxen river in Northeast Pennsylvania, and the “big” beaverkill between Roscoe and Cook Falls. On both rivers, these insects start hatching...

Re: Dressed For Success (another glympse inside Doug's Fly Box)
Doug, such nice work – kudos to you my friend!
Also: Lou’s comment made me think of a conversation we had a year or so back where I was supposed to send you some hooks, but I never did
I will get them in the mail to you immediately!

Ray, you never cease to amaze me!!!!!!
Footnote - I couldn’t help but notice that your FLymph Forum mug includes a teabag of the twinings variety. Do yourself a favor and get yourself some Barrys Gold – you’ll never go back!
