Re: Wet Fly Fishing (1960 Sports Illustrated Magazine)
$1.00--what a bargain!
My book is in great shape and has a nice, old-book smell. It came from a book dealer in Kinnelon, NJ.
This name (I presume the original owner) is written inside: William P. Mason, Jr; does anyone know him?
Thanks- Ken

Re: Wet Fly Fishing (1960 Sports Illustrated Magazine)
John / Ray, I appreciate the info. I found a copy of the follow-on book on ebay, but someone else made a better offer. A quick search of other online sellers and I had a copy too.

Starling & Purple (Warning: It has a Bead)!
I tied this today after seeing it during John Shaner's presentation on North Country Spiders. He said he likes to fish it as a dropper in a dry/dropper set-up! Yes, it breaks tradition by having a bead! Starling & Purple Hook: Daiichi 1640 - size 12 (2XS) Body: Pearsall's Gossamer (Purple #8) Th...

Re: Brown Sugar Soft Hackle
Ray, I think your color combination is great. I really like the way it goes from light to dark when my eye goes from the bend of the hook to the eye of the hook. My questions is about the thorax. If I understand correctly, the "dubbing" is yarn. Did you chop it up and mix it in a seed/coff...

Re: The Winter Brown #3 from North Country Flies by Pritt.
Tom,
On this fly, are you tying the herl head on first? Also wondering
where you're putting your whip finish; between herl and hackle or
behind the hackle?
Thanks- Ken

Wet Fly Fishing (1960 Sports Illustrated Magazine)
I bought this on ebay. A copy of Sports Illustrated from March 28, 1960. I would turn 5 later that year and it would be another 10 years before I walked into Lim's Sporting Goods on Main St in Stroudsburg, PA to buy my 1st fly rod and materials to tie my own flies. This is Part 1 of a 3-Part Series ...

Re: Snowy day flymph
Looks good! Your fly has a nicely tapered body.
Where did you find the up-eye Partridge hooks?
Thanks- Ken

Re: PT & Plover
Dana, I have no previous experience with this pattern. It was mentioned over on the Bamboo Forum--pheasant tail, plover, and orange thread, so I just thought I would give it a try! My photography skills are rather limited, but I tried.............. Fly after it was dipped in water with same backgrou...
