No probs Peter. At least things are getting back on track for you. As for me, I am staring an aerodynamics exam straight in the face…let the plane crash but just don’t cut into my fishing/tying time. Maybe next semester I’ll have time to breath!

 

For some reason here for duns and in Tasmania for just about everything else the fisherman go mental over claret….like the freshwater version of chartreuse.

 

I have been using the Partridge 50s pack of the klinkhammer model which I love. Is there one specific model that most people seem to agree on as being the “best”??

Same here, regarding tying Klinkhamers -- I just got a box of Sz. 16 Daiichi 1270's from Line's End with my $15 gift certificate from renewing my VFB membership - perfect timing for the swap, and great for the upcoming caddis hatches around these parts, besides... A modified Henryville Special (1270 hook vs the 1180 or such) in the *traditional* claret (it since went light- green for a different caddis species) works like a charm!  My wife is out and about shopping, so... a tying I shall go!!!  Besides, it's rare that I can blare my country music without the dog howling and my wife's ears bleeding... ;) I may not be fishing quite yet, but in a few weeks (June 30th to July 10th) I'll be on the Kenebec river in Maine, spey rod in tow. :D

Tight wraps,

Pete

PS - Reuven - Deepest apologies, but the 'goodies' left just yesterday... I didn't forget about ya', but have been busy and unable to trek to the post office with my crazy shift at work.  At least we hired for 3 of the 6 positions that quit... so now there's 5 of us, out of the 8 we had... gotta love that 12 hour day, 72-hour week thing!  WOO HOO!
 

No, sitting here tying Klinkhamer flies!!!
