Deborah-
I'd be more than delighted to swap a few flies with
you. However, my Spey/Dee style flies (as I mentioned
in a previous post) are still in definite need of much
more practice. If you don't mind some hairwing and
maribou styles, I be happy do do that.
Let me know and I'll tie up a traditional dress
steelhead fly pattern or two and a local variant.

The River-
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.
