Feb. 23 2008

Finished my flies for the SowBug swap this AM. Tied #18 Klinkhamers on scud hooks, brown, glossy rayon thread on abdomen, brown dubbing for thorax, Cree hackle. Handsome little critters, had to make 3 or 4 extras for myself. Then started a dozen #16 Parachute Adams, haven't finished them yet, boss keeps calling me away. Tying the Adams on some vintage Edgar Seeley and Sons sproat hooks. The hooks are probably worth way more than the flies. Oh, well, maybe Edgar will be proud that his hooks are still out here working for us FF'ers.
Am planning a trip to Spring River Tuesday with a new fishing partner, Standstall from the FAOL chatroom. Hope nothing happens to cancel us out.
