I just remembered something from a couple years back.... When we first started the Co-Op swaps the first swappers got a surprise care package from Tom Whiting also! I still have that package. I thought that was so neat! I think Don O and Byard arranged that somehow. Be very careful.... they are very addictive! See what happened to me. I had to start pushing them to support my habit. ROTFL! Warm Regards, Deb

I think he still sells them on the Lines End site, it's a great deal. He sells a lot of Whiting products and what isn't on the site he can order for you. He's a big Whiting dealer. I think Whiting has around 80 members world wide on their pro team. That number may have changed a little since the last team newsletter but it's close. Don O sent me some midge feathers when I first joined the VFB and Allan Fish sent me a care package with Midge Cree feathers. I was hooked from the start! ;0) Regards, Deb -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Reuven Segal Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 10:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [VFB] Reuven - Pro Teams How many people actually are on the pro team ie for whiting?? I met one here called Mick Hall a couple weeks back. He showed me a midge cape. My jaw dropped and my heart went kaboom. He gave me a couple of hackles which are superb. I hope to get one someday. I love tying the smaller flies but the hackles for the tinier flies were few and far between. This one was too much for me though, and I will be saving the ones he gave me for a very special occasion....I don't know when I'll be able to get more (not looking good at this point). It must be great having access to so many wonderful materials. R
