Went to tie my Clark's Golden Stonefly patterns and found, much to my chagrin, that I was out of 1 XL dry fly hooks. They came in the mail today and I will get them in the mail on Monday 5/18. Thanks for your patience.

you get my flies yet ???
Flies went out on Monday, returned today! "Need $1.00 additional postage."! I had the postal clerk weigh before I sent, the PO answer man said that maybe they didn't understand what I was doing/saying? Set for Wednesdays mail with additional postage. The way things are going, if all goes well that is, you should receive the flies by Christmas!
Thanks again for hosting - additional postage for my return stamps in a separate cover - FYI.
