Never mind. Now I have ANOTHER problem: My significant other has decided
two
things. First, she's been looking for a hobby, and she thinks fly tying
could be the Next Big Thing. And second, she thinks the colors of the
ones
in the store were not exciting enough. She's from Puerto Rico. I can see
it
coming now: A box full of 12" long "flies" made from bright green parrot
feathers. Later: "Oh yeeeeeeeeah....these'll work great. For marlin".
:-)

Au contraire, amigo. A very good fisher I know uses blue parrot
feathers for the wing cases on many of his nymphs.

g.c.

Maybe I can use the 12" long flies at hat decorations.
