Yes, that's typical Tony. Eleven flies makes a Dutch dozen, right? Martin

Bill, I am proud to say I have eleven of Martin's flies in a frame that he gave me when he was here for the Sowbug last year. The frame with flies are hanging on my wall for all to see. Tony [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I just gotta chime in here. Martins eel skin muddler is awesome. I haven't been able to tie one that comes out as beautiful as Martins yet and I can't bring myself to use his (could I order a replacement???) But I do like to use it as an example fly. There is a picture of it on my website if you folks would like to see it. Martin is a wonderful tyer and his muddlers are pure art... not to mention great fish foolers.
PS-Martin, where do you get the eel skin?

For the record, using eelskin for a muddler wing is not my idea - Jan Reniers of Holland showed it to me, and I think that the Scots used eelskin long ago. Jan's flies are on Henk's site. This Muddler is a great pattern for Lake Oostvoorne. Martin

You refer to the Aal Soup they serve in Northern Germany? Eel soup wasn't made from Eel in the past. Nowadays they use to put Eel in it to avoid the questioning of the tourists.
I would add smoked Eel to the list. Hmmmmm....
BTW: Mart Westbeek uses Eel skin for muddler wings. Met him during a show here in Cologne yesterday.
