Evening Perps-
I handed the White Box off to Wes Wada in Bend this morning. After much pondering I chose only 4 flies, a Ratfaced McDougal by Jimmy D, a Purple Joe from Jim Burbank, a Mahogany Quigley's Cripple by Rix Benson and an untagged dry about a size 18 quill body with what looks like white poly yarn wings. In their place are now 4 different steelhead flies.
I would have loved to have chosen a couple of dozen or more, but don't have enough time to tie that many flies right now. <G> Just want to say again what a great job, there are so many highly talented tyers out there.
Jim B, I'll be tying a couple of copies of your Purple Joe to take with me to the Westfly Steelhead/Spey Rondi at Beavertail next weekend. Are you planning on being there? If you have time can you email me a recipe? Thanks.
Take care all and good fishing.
-John

You passers-by who share my journey,
You move and change, I move and am the same;
You move and are gone, I move and remain.
