Re: SOFT~ HACKLE JOURNAL
I received my copy as well.
Lance Hidy did a great piece on my favorite flymph, the Honey Dun.
I get great satisfaction tying and fishing the flymph patterns on the same waters as Pete Hidy did.

Re: EARLY SCOTTISH ANGLING LITERATURE
Being a fly fishing history buff, I'm sure you have or have read The Fly Fisher's Craft The Art and History by Darrel Martin and The Colonial Angler's Manual of Fly Fishing and Fly Tying by Ken Reinard.
