Has this happened to you?

I crimp the barb from the side. Loose two or three hooks per thousand doing this. Better than after having tied a fly.

Cool story, Hap. Brave move going after the fish.

I been trying to IM you, your inbox is full..

Did you receive the fly swap flys?

Would call it dumb, not brave, as my swimming is like most Alaskans my age... pooor! We grew up without indoor pools to learn in.

I did get the flies but have not even opened the package yet... I am very busy right now and was suddenly put in a worse position last week. A family member has been diagnosed with Pancreatic C... at a very bad time. I will make a minute and go look at them now. And I will open up my message box.

Sorry to hear that.

Hoping for the best.
