#57I'm not much of a tier, but this weekend I knocked off a bunch of traditional wets, soft-hackles and flymphs using grouse & woodcock. This particular pattern works well as a sulphur emerger.

#59Hi Guys, I caught my first, rather tiny fish in the Wallkill. My family vacationed there in the 4o-50's. Beautiful Catskill tie! I'll tie some.
