Mart,
How is Jan? I have one of his shrimps on my 'Wall of Fame'.
I met him at the Flyfair in Holland in '98. What a neat guy.
I think he got a mouse, but I can't remember- about 20 mice found new
homes
overseas on that trip.
Are you guys going to have the Flyfair again?
Don

Yes, I tied them, Keith, but a fellow Dutch tyer, Jan Reniers, introduced
me
to them. My only addition is some flash under the wing, which I think
gives
the pattern a little more "life".
The wet flies are ready - yes, the swappers will receive a Spanish Fly
from
me - 24 Palarettas waiting to be taken to the BFF. Not modern at all,
they
are very traditional. Wet fly hook, thread body, thread rib, CdL wing,
thread head. that's it. The only modern abomination is that I used CA
glue
instead of varnish. I'm not really a stick-in-the-mud ;-)
