Re: SOFT~ HACKLE JOURNAL
Finally got around to reading it, cover to cover. Excellent! I did go to Ace and bought some wax meantioned in tips. I already had more than I will ever use, but... I bought the wax mentioned. Very, very sticky. I wouldn't put it on your finger. I usually just put some on my tying bench, where this is, and i run the thread thru it. Regardless, more wax in this box than could be used in several lifetimes.

Not a joke. I read about this somewhere in the past as well.

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: SOFT~ HACKLE JOURNAL
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner Dubbin, but looks like Dale gave you the link to the toilet seat wax. Only downside for me is that it is very soft, but you get a boatload that will last forever.

Re: SOFT~ HACKLE JOURNAL
My copy arrived yesterday. Another great issue. Really liked the information and photo in Lance article. Looking forward to diving into the OC article. One of my favorite hatches to fish.
