Does any body else out there have a collection?


Poul Jorgensen, Kelly Galloup, Toril Korbul, Mike Martinek, Lefty Kreh
and quite a few others. I have a "special box" that I use for these.
Some really nice flies.

That would be great to have a Martinek. He is awesome!


Actually, we were both a couple of poor Yank tyers at the now defunct
Chatsworth Angling Faire in the UK. I introduced him to the Danica
Rotary Vise


OK fess up...it's a _vice_ AND it rotates...how did you get hurt with
it?

(later to be bought by Orvis and rebranded the DanVise).
He also gave me one of his first edition "Streamer Fly Patterns for
Trolling and Casting." Will say that that man can drink. There is
one night that I don't really remember. Every time I see him, he asks
if I've gotten "Frank's Fighting Craw" published. He uses it for
smallies up in Maine.

Neat little snippet of FFing.
