my wife is heading to Holland and Israel in 2 weeks for a 5 week trip. I will get o fish every weekend and after work. I will remember and hunt down that brown till I get it. I will try the razor idea, and you will have a unique fly to add to your repertoire. Never thought of using a razor...I was thinking about a gutting knife, which would be great but expensive for a decent one. Thanks for the help,

Work just as well as a knife, and a whole lot cheaper. Just use and throw away as they get dull. Two or three should do a wombat. Just do NOT cut yourself while skinning an animal- period. Just don't do it. If you do cut yourself to the point of bleeding, quit! Go sterilize the wound asap, wrap it up, then continue the skinning. Those 'stalked' fish are the ones I remember best. Try again later. He may be back.
