Peggy, I will probably be tying a Doc Markham peril which he uses, and claims is the ONLY fly to be used, with success, on the Snake river. It's basically a transformed purple peril using arctic fox and lots of flash. Joyce On Sun, Dec 8, 2013 at 4:06 AM, rene.zillm...@t-online.de

Hey DonO I caught my first steelhead on a fly with a home tied purple peril. I spotted two fish under a low bridge and had a heck of a time casting side arm upstream under the bridge against the wind. The first cast hit the bridge, but the second one timed between wind gusts flew straight

I was asked to pass this on from his son. Tony Via via via i have received an email directed to Bas. I'm his son Marco and Bas sends you his warmest regards. He is doing well but his overall condition is not very strong at the moment. He needs a walking aid and the days of fishing and tying
