Re: Fly shows
Here's what you can do, Teddy---- Gather all your photos of folks who over the years stopped by your tying booth. Have cardboard cutouts made of their faces, and position those in front of your tying table at home. It's always the same old "herd" who walks up to chat at the shows. Tie at home, and t...

Re: Eastern Fly Fishing - May/June 2020
At one of the golf tournaments, Tiger Woods was at the first tee being announced. They started naming all the events he had won, until, finally, Phil Mickleson yelled, "Wouldn't it be easier if you named the ones he hasn't won?" I guess with Mike, we will need to introduce him by what he hasn’t wri...

Re: Trout Town Flies
Wish I had some idea for you---I'll ask around.
-It's interesting that there's so many shops these days. I can recall the years when Roscoe had only Dettes and The Little Store---that was it. And Harry's up the road---

Re: "Catskill Heritage Fly Tiers" group gathering
