I have been D keying the messages relating to this thread. I don't know what the hassle is all about. A killer fly is mentioned but no recipe is given The poster says it is not his fly and would contact the originator for permission to post the recipe. What more can you ask, I personally have respect for people like that, Now lets quit the big BS and get on with Fly Tying. John is a great contributor to the list. Tony [EMAIL PROTECTED]
