Hi Way, So nice to see you back here! It really has been a very long time. We used to shoot quite a few emails back and forth, years ago.' It really is sad to read about the steelhead situation, and unfortunately, it's the same for atlantic salmon in most of the world. Except of course for Denmark, ...

I'm sad to hear about this - Roy was one of the good ones. I think I have a handful of flies Roy gave me and if I can find them, I'll take some photos and maybe write an FP on the thoughts behind his flies that he was happy to share. Both flies and thoughts.

Yes I'm going to try some more short ones as well. I hope the silicone helps you also. Thanks again. I too like that strike indicator however I used to produce and sell one that were direct competition with them. Same idea but different system.

Well, just send me whatever is left of what you set aside for the investment .

Paul, Here's a question. I know first hand the amount of prototypes you've gone through on nsome of the rods. Even though we're Worlds apart (literally), I think I've handled 3 (at least two) of the 4-wt prototypes on the occassions we've met whem you were developing this rod. Your FP today on the 5...

Good Heavens - I even have that book and forgot to mention it... Stupid of me. But expensive? it's 46 USD on Amazon.

Well, it's really quite a delicate art and on the more serious side of it, I'm really only a beginner. But I'll relay some of the invaluable information I got from my friend, Claus, who's a 6th degree black belt in dyeing. But bleaching first. Also a delicate matter. I use hair bleaches, two part pr...
