I have a DT5F sylk that I bought to use on my Dougls Duck 7'3" 5 weight. I have not cast it on water yet, only in the back yard, and not in hot weather, so I can comment on how well it floats or...

Does anyone besides me actually own and use both the Norlander and Ekich bobbins? I don't think so. I just tied a fly with Benecchi 12/0 white on an Ekich and Danville 6/0 unwaxd black on a...

Donald?s flies were in today?s post. Unfortunately, I am about to head out on a business trip and will not have time to wrap up my swapmeisterly duties until the end of the month.

OK, looks like we have 14 swappers (15 flies). Assuming I get home from work at a reasonable hour tonight I'll put together a mailing list and send out the operating principles for the swap.

Tnaks...

Stu

OK, that makes 11 -- one more and we are *there*

This swap will be open to a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 12...
