Hello, I hope everyone is doing well. It is nice to be back on the list seeing the wonderful flow of information. I took a year off, trolling the big lakes here in NH with hardware and tandem streamers for salmon and lake trout. In fact, I didn't take out the fly rod once this year UGH!! But now I am back - teaching the Laconia Adult Education's program - FLY TYING FOR FISHERMAN class. 20 hours of fly tying (10 weeks for 2 hours on Monday nights from 1/23 through 4/3) for just $90 which includes materials - is quite a deal. Sorry about the plug.... (contact me offline if you are interested..)
I just visited Stone River Outfitters about 4 days ago. They were still moving in. They have quite a focus in clothing and the space I saw for materials was a little meager, but still very nice. We will miss Hunter's. In fact, WS Hunters has moved into Concord, NH and Mike S. has a very nice store there. He might be taking up the gap that will be lost by Hunter's - I will send an update. Ever since I ordered some premo stuff from Hunters a year ago, it was apparent to me that you MUST select the pieces yourself or you will not be too happy with it. With that said, there has been only one supplier where I have always been happy with when buying material's online - that's Line's End. I couldn't resist chiming in since I have just been to see the old Hunter's Angling inventory... Thanks, Chris Chapman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
