I remember Paul Morrisey. I have a hat pin tyed by him, so does Steve. I bought my tube fly kit from him.... Hey he's the one responsible for my infatuation with tube flies!!!! I think I might even have a couple of tube flies he tied... If I remember right they were general practitioners a green one and an orange one tied on tubes. Steve took one of these also but the other one I have in a collection somewhere. Regards, Deb

Carl is olike a complete mystery..........where he comes across all that cool "stuff" is something he's very tight lipped about. And who can blame him. Hey if i knew that, i might just cut him out of the deal, lmao. Actually i like talkin' with him a lot, because he's also a Luthier, and i played guitar for many years.....so we have a lot in common on that tip. Right, Roger has had that "stash" for at least a couple years now. It all belonged to a fellow member of our tying club (CFTG) Paul .........jeeze, there's so many dang Pauls in the world of salmon flies. Pitalis, Seymore, Jorgensen (boy i miss him), Rossman, and about 5 more.......i can't think of his last name. Anyway, he was a very nice guy i got to meet about 10 times almost always at shows. He also had a lot of Catskill connections. I bought some of that "stash" back in Sept., at the IFTS show as well. All the money Roger gets for that stuff is going to Paul's widow. Most years i just buy one skin or so from John McLain.....usually some pheasent or the other. Always better to get complete skins. I really miss Phil Castleman's booth, "Castle Arms." He always had the biggest stash of stuff for salmon fly tyers. And of course if he's not there, then Paul Seymore isn't going to be there tying. I'm so glad i got my Paul Seymore fly back when he used to always be there. I got to pick it from guite a few he had there at the show. I GOT IT! Moresey.......Paul Moresey. Whew! lmao, mark.....
