Byard, WOW!!... That's fantastic.. "GO VFB & LINES END"... YHOOOOO!!!... I'm in no way a "writer", but if I was I can think of MANY good things to say about both...
I do have a question for you though.... I've been looking for some Golden Pheasant Sword Feathers in red and green... Also Golden Pheasant hackle points in hot pink, red and green... Does "Lines End" carry them and if not would you know where I can get them... The two shops here in Albuquerque, "Sportsman's Warehouse" and "Charlie's Sporting Goods" don't carry them and I don't know where else to go to get them....
