BLimey i dont remember JR mentioning those

[mackem 26,721]

You have to remember,he wrote that book in the 1930's before they had such subtle methods,we are progressing,I once caught 150+ trout in a few hours on my own,using nothing more complex than a carbon-fibre beachcaster,multiplier reel,and a trace of feathers,anyway,as I said,fishing later in the week

Oh i see now how novel, you fish the feathers "dry" i preume. Take a bit of floatant to cover them though. JR will be looking down on you smiling safe in the knowledge that his vision for gentlemans fishing is in such safe hands Mackem

[mackem 26,721]

Obviously I am not going to go into exact details of how I treat my flys beforehand,otherwise there would be no mystique to it,we all have our own little quirks and foibles regarding the fine arts right Get out fishing much Chess?

[chess 0]

Quite right Mackem, loose lips sink ships and all that. Try to get out now and again when i have time away from my fly vice.

[mackem 26,721]

Any pics of your vice and flies?

Afraid the lighting in my fishing studio is not cundusive to showing the intricate details of my immitative patterns such as waterhen bloa, snipe and purple and parrots tail nymph

[mackem 26,721]

Oh,I mean,yeah,course,obvious isnt it Ummm,heres one of my capes,just prior to tying,I always find it best to tie them on site,at the waters edge,fresher that way right?Just tie your hackles and cape onto a delicate 19/0 hook and let the breeze lift it out

Cock ?

[mackem 26,721]

Heres my trout feathers for big waters and lakes,200 hooks per trace If your going to catch fish do it properly right?

[mackem 26,721]

Cock ?

Oh yeah,I am not like you,I never use a snipe or parrot,the cost of macaws nowadays is prohibitive
