While Matt was here, we covered a bunch of tying tricks that were new to him. He politely asked if he could have one Chili Pepper reject I had on the bench. I fish my rejects so I tied him a nice one. LOL
I will be stepping down as tying chairman. Eight years was enough. I will be a tyers advisor to Dean and Lee, they will be taking over the Chair. I will be as involved as any of the other committee members.
This should give me time to do a program or two and time to tie a full session.

Tony, Matt is a very nice guy isn't he? To bad we weren't able to make the Wildcat Sat. night BBQ happen. I guess without Jimmy and Jeff, it's a washout. Apparently, Matt and his buddies had brought food for that, but....... I ended up taking Ron, his wife, and Okie out to diner at a Chinese joint. Mayabe next year we can get back to the traditional Sat. night BBQ at the Wildcat. BTW, is it true you are retiring from heading up the show? I sure hope not. mark.....

Jack,
I just want to mention, the guy with the loose hackles was not Conranch Hackles, it was another hackle dealer.
How did you do Monday morning on the river before you left. Matt came over to the house and Denny and I had a nice visit with him.

I don't want to cast any aspersions on the feather salesman there - Gray Drake Hackle? - but all of those skins were unpackaged. My advice to you would be to put them, and anything else you buy like that, into ziplock bags and put them in and out of the freezer several times over the next month or so. Again, no aspersions, but I've already done this with the hackles I boiught there. And I look forward to seeing him again, when I have more cash in hand.

Valerie and I got back from the Sowbug Roundup at 9:00 pm last night. We had a good time, and i learned a few new tricks as well. Valerie
outspent me on flytying materials $82.50 to zero. this year however,
I packed up here feathers and put them away in a drawer so the dogs
wouldn't decide they were playthings like last year.
Some of you may notice that this a new e-mail address for me. I'm trying out the gmail account for the list. My old address at [EMAIL PROTECTED] is still active and will reamin so.

Now i get it Tony. Thankx for clearing that up. You sure did build a great
show. Did i tell you i got that print in the silent auction of the scene on
the Northfork? "The Perfect" momento of that river. I was REALLY after
Gordon McKenzie's flies too, but someone just kept outbidding me. I did get
his book, signed. He's was so nice. He gave me a bunch of European Jay
feathers.....so i layed some natural polarbear on him. You shoulda seen the
smile on his face. Hair is his thing.......boy i sure hope he comes back
next year. I didn't get anywhere near enough time to watch him tye. mark
