Lots of changes over the years, can't stop them. Betty hang in there.

Norm, if a tyer doesn't have access to the original 477 yarn what are the substitutes?
Thanks,

Very sad, my condolences to her friends and family.

This is cork meant for use on baitcasting rods.

That is a great article, very interesting! He mentions soft hackle specific feathers, anyone familiar with those?

LEW & PRM, hard to believe I joined this forum almost 12 years ago? Been through some major changes myself, I am looking forward to getting back to square one with some of the good parts of life....

These are Fisher blanks and yes they have spigot ferrules, they're just not shown in the pictures above.

Good pattern here in Missouri also.

Thanks,

Tim

I also recieved the same message today. Strange?
