Re: What do u think?

Good flies, Jake....also you apparently have a flair for the use of materials. There are two books out by Jay "Fishy" Fullum you may enjoy looking through at the bookstore. I happen to have them both, they are called FISHY'S FLIES, and FISHY'S FAVORITES.
It's a real variety of approaches and also a variety of materials....for example, he makes a helgrammite body using electrician's tape, a pencil sharpener to form a balsa popper body, and a coffee stir stick to make a Damselfly. Some of the flies use standard materials, others are very creative. They are soft bound books, 8 1/2 by 11 inches and about 1/4 inch thick having about 65 pages each. Hope you come across them sometime, interesting reads.

Thanks for posting, Mac
