Hey Chris. I'm doing OK - nothing dangerous. One of the heart meds
kicks my ass every morning - I have about 2 hours of almost normalcy and
then I'm in a haze all day. I have to live the zombie lifestyle for at
least another 4 weeks at which time it gets worse for another 6-8 weeks.
Then, if everything goes as planned, I'll be close to where I was last
October.

Recipe for the 'Kinda Ausable Wullf'
Hook: Standard #12 dry fly
Thread: 8/0 orange Uni
Wing: Snowshoe hare foot undivided.
Tail: Woodchuck tail fibers (or substitute woodchuck guard hairs or
moose mane).
Body: burnt orange Aussie Possum.
Hackle: 12 wraps of brown, or six each of grizzly and brown. Bushy.
Comments: You need to use Frogs Fanny or another powdered floatant on
this because the paste types will mat down the hare hair. When I tie
these for bluegill fishing (size 8 and 10) I use calf tail wings for
easier floating. I like the snowshoe hare for the size 12 and 14s I use
for trout.

Stan, I obviously missed the news of your health. I hope all is well and you
get better soon.

yfinc,

Walt

Yeah, it's just your heart, and you have a spare, right? ;-) Take it
easy my friend, and get your boys to start giving you my phone messages.
I was about ready to start checking the local morgues.

Get better SOON, man..... You wouldn't believe the tremors running
through the snowshoe hare market.

Take good care of yourself.

No doubt! JR, there are untold numbers of footless hares telling
stories about Tom to their grandkids. He even has front feet! The
horror! (OK, I have one...)

TL: My minions are going to Somerset in a few weeks and I have a couple
of colors they need to find. I could really use a light dun and a
couple more yellow/orange. And a green calf tail... Tied up some very
nice clones of your green drake dun last week (we have two samples) -
look fine aside from the drab wing colorg. Also need one of those
Brahma hens in a light gray... ****, I should make a listg

Stan, I probably won't be at this Somerset Show....was thinking of Danbury
for today, but stuff got in the way. What you need to look for in the way of
calf tail is Flourescent Chartreuse. Have the minions go in search of
English Angling Trappings for the bunny feet....they seem to be the best
source at the moment. Get well, willya.
