I like all of those patterns.

I'm sitting here just now looking at the Yellowstone right at flood level and getting higher every day, so it doesn't look like we'll be fishing here for some time. So, I just might have to add the Henry's Fork to my fishing in the next few weeks or so.

I couldn't help notice the 2.50 shown on the tag attached to the drake in your picture - was that the price? I saved a copy of Jacklin's invoice for the flies I have, dated January 2009, at $1.95 per fly. I also have some of his Brown Drake Para Spinners obtained from him at the same time and price.
