Just wondering if anybody is still tying, maybe you're all out fishing?

Hope so.

I've been tyin' up hideously ugly damsel/dragon fly patterns (palmer
hackle around the body) for our small trout (12 to 18 inchers), and they
are working pretty dang well!

i knew you had delusions of grandeur...but calling a 12-18" NC trout
"small" is damning evidence of a serious psychosis!! g unless you're
fishing in trout-pellet enriched club waters for zoo trout, a NC wild
trout in that range is spectacular. good work mark... hope to see you and
some of those small trout in sept.

Um, actually I was referrin' to our trout being small in relation to what
Chas is used to catchin' up in the great white North. I believe I remember
that he lives in Alaska or some such heavenly location.

Of course, I suffer from pyschotic delusions, but it has nothing to do with
my fishin'! You of all ROFFians should know that.

Pencil in Labor Day for a campin' excursion from the Greentown Trail to the
Falls. You'll enjoy my latest fishin' buddy, Mr. John Smith. He is a very
fine young man and a God to me. He is 37 and married a most beautiful 23
year old woman--with money!

I suppose from NC it might seem like Alaska, but I'm near Seattle. Currently
tying flies for pink salmon and king salmon. Andy caught a 23 pound king
yesterday. I haven't landed one since July.
