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.

Re: Dressed For Success (another glympse inside Doug's Fly Box)
Doug, such nice work – kudos to you my friend!

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!
