filter flies are in the mail
My filter flies are in the mail. I mailed them from the Afton, NY post office today.
I met Jack Gartside at a fly tying gathering in Livingston Manor, NY.
A master of economy, (at the time I was going through some "lean" times) he waxed poetic about the virtues of the feathers from a ringneck pheasant. He even said that if he only had the feathers of one bird to tie from, he would choose the ringneck for economy, variety and versatility.
He even mused about doing a book with flies only from a pheasant.
His creativite flies, his humor and his humanity will be fondly remembered.
