Mark,
We fished the Izaak Walton stretch of the River Dove, then had lunch at the Izaak Walton Hotel. Even had an Izaak Walton Ale! A few little browns, no grayling (which is what we were suposed to be fishing for)
Steve Thornton caught a rather nice brown.
Cheers, Tim

Tim, where did you fish in England? I've been there a LOT! But never got to fish. Misa fished there in 2000 i think it was during the WFFC&CS, and really enjoyed it. She brought home a bunch of cool flies too. How'd you do on the hallowed waters? mark....

Hi Martin,
Trip home was uneventful, now days that's a good thing! Wish you could have gone fishing with us on Monday. It's always nice to put faces with the names!
Guess I've always been a do-it-yourself'er? I'm only making the larger hooks, so it's not like I'm that fanatical!
Cheers, Tim

Hi Tim,
Did you have a good trip home after the BFF?
About this hook making idea... are you sure you want to do that? Why don't you just buy the *^% hooks and use the time you save to brush up your flytying technique :-)

Subject: [VFB] Hook wire?
Hello all!
Coming out of lurk mode to ask a question! As some of you know, I've started to make my own hooks for presentation salmon flies, and I am looking for a source for carbon steel (or any steel or iron ) wire. Don't need 5000 foot rolls of the stuff, but that's all I've found so far.
I have been using large streamer hooks for the wire so far, but I want to start completely from scratch now.
Does anyone know where I can find reasonable lengths (like 100 or 150 foot) of wire? I want the diameter to be about 0.10 or 0.12 inches.
Any ideas out there?
Cheers, Tim
