Still planning on fishing this weekend? Haven't heard anything since the other day.

I recieved mine today too...what a wonderful suprise. And the hackle samples tells you alot about his company. Talk about a hands on, full color catalouge. You can see, hear, smell, touch, and...if it suit's your fancy...taste the quality of his hackles. Tells you alot about Whiting Farms and its dedication to pleasing fly fisherman and tiers. Thanks DonO, Byard, and Dr. Tom for setting up the Co-Op swaps...when's the next one? <g> Might have to be bigger then Caddis2003, I think EVERYONE should want to be a part of these whiting swaps. What a great deal.
Im going fishing, later all.

After the last co-op swap DonO gave the e-mail address to thank Dr. Tom. I did just that and Dr. Tom replied back that if I sent him my mailing address he would send me a color catalog and other info. I thought "Cool" so I sent him my snail mail. I had all but given up on getting the catalogs until I saw the big white envelope in the mail box from Whiting Farms with Dr. Tom's hand written signature on the front. I opened it up to see some nice full color catalogs inside. As I looked them over in one of the catalogs there was a standard letter size envelope. I opened this envelope to find a variety of dry fly hackles, several different colors and sizes even some midge hackle. I haven't counted them but I estimate about 30 feathers in all.
IMHO Dr. Tom not only has the best dry fly hackle on the market he is a very stand up guy.
