See what i mean...........lol. BTW, next time you get a chance to talk with 
the guy from Scottland, (who was at the Danbury show) who tyes that Salmon 
fly, the Pot Belly Pig, ask him about Jungle Cock feathers and what has been 
discovered about them. Better if you get it from the source i got it from. 
He may not want anyone going around giving away trade secrets.....he he he.

I will.  I still owe you pictures of the wallet and flies also.  I take 
them
outside as I haven't figured out how to use a flash with the Nikon 995.  I
don't think it will work today with the blizzard.  Everything here is 
closed
and it's cold!!!  I finally found an easy way to print them at Walmart.  I
know I'm slow but photography isn't what I planned on when I took up fly
tying.   I printed 91 pictures Friday.  :)  I got my own book going here
now.

I finally got a copy of Hale and Kelson.  Hale is great!!   I got the 
second
edition so I have all of the dressings in the back.  I found a single JC 
eye
pressed between the pages of the book left from a previous owner, which
puzzled me.  I finally decided that it may be that it was the only example
of one he had.  Maybe someone gifted it to him to use as a reference.
They're so common place now we take them for granted.  If only a feather
could talk.  The silk gut is dyed..  I knew that would get you.  :)
Iain ...   One of these hooks is a double with a piggy back!  I also have
two that look like precursors to the Waddington Shank.   They have a ring
eye holding the treble with a long single wire and a return eye on the end.
One hook is labeled from an antique dealer Bartleet and Harrison 1880.
There's lots of fun in this box.
