Santa came early and I have a new book that talks about soft hackles.
It's "Wet Flies" by Dave Hughes. I already had a book by Hughes,
"Trout Flies - The Tier's Reference" that I REALLY liked. I can't
wait to read about the soft hackles in this new book by him.

This time of year, I really enjoy reading (and tying) and dreaming
about what to try next season :-)
