Turton's Barm Dun

[letumgo]

Hank - The term "MOM" in this case is short hand for Mary Orvis Marbury (see links below), who is famous for the book she published called "Favorite Flies and Their Histories" (originally published in 1892).

hank, your welcome.....i hadn't even noticed tha Ray had already filled you in, and that you had thanked him, when i replied to your ? But anyway, Bill (t2f) has just posted a KILLER MOM over at my site.....you outta check it out. Again, i haven't investigated what info Ray gave you, so at the risk of redundantcy, here's what i told you i'd give you. The full title of the book is, Favorite Flies And Their Histories. It has 32 color plates, quite a few black & white illustrations, and is published by, The Wellfleet Press. My copy was $24 but that was a number of years ago, i got it at the Somerset show in the late 90's if i remember right.

Took a little peek at Ray's reply........and dig. Not only are Lee & Mike both PHENOMINAL tyers, they're both two of the nicest "True" gentelman in all the world.

hank, SNAP OUT OF IT...........your havin' another one of your nightmare's...........i told you i'd "Give" you information.......the "full" TITLE (re-read above/fourth post frpm the top of THIS page), NOT the book..... .......... You gotta maintain continuity from post to post Bro.....keep things in context. My $24 copy is prolly worth/cost bout a bill by now.........like i said, wake up........."a MUST have" means you need to BUY it, if your serious bout those flies.
