Off the subject but... My wife and I are contemplating moving to NC.
Maybe around Wilson, as she is an antique dealer. Where does one find
good fly fishing in NC? Mind you I am from southern California and have
not been to NC yet.

Thanks!

were all wrong, the hackle was at least two sizes too big
and poorly tied to boot. So naturally I tossed it in the box.

I challenge you to find ANYTHING in, near, or around a North
Carolina mountain stream that looks like a yellow humpy.
There is no aquatic insect, surface or sub-surface that looks
like a yellow humpy, there is no terrestrial or even extra-
terrestrial that looks like a yellow humpy ! So why do they
work ? Woudn't you like to just once be able to do a Vulcan
mind meld with a trout and ask him "What in the hell were you
THINKING ?"
