Thanks everyone so far for the helpfull info and really good bumping into you today Henry. That was a coincidence to say the least. I ended up stopping at LeBaron's on the way home. I had the Normark glove in my hand and then seen another one. It's a fish handling glove made my Lindy. More money but I bought it anyway. It's heavy fabric with a tough palm instead of steel mesh. I will definatly use the fly you gave me and I bet it will catch fish. You do a beautiful job on those flies you make. Someday I hope to have the ability. Got to go and check out all the goodies I bought myself today. Later, Dave
