[VFB] Re: Fly Identification
Jack: I should have been a little clearer. I didn't mean that the flies were ugly, just the green was ugly. Sorry for the confusion. I certainly didn't mean anything demeaning or insulting.

Mark Sends: May your GOD be your fishing partner. Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2009 15:31:56 -0600 Would of been cool to have got to meet the cat..unfortunately, he died in 1914. At least we did get to know several people who spent their lives knowing several people who did know T.G. We were so fortunate to start, and spend the first 20 years of our fly fishing lives, in the Catskills. And to be members of the board of directors of the Theodore Gordon Flyfishers and on the Conservation Committee for 15 years. And to be able to go on a lot of fun fishing trips with the club and visit the Anglers Club in lower Manhattan a few times at TGF Dinners, was terriffic. That place is amazing. We saw flies actually tyed by T.G. there, amoung so many other things. But most of all.it is to have fished all the same rivers he did, the Neversink..the Beaverkill.the Willowemoc.the Esophus.the Callicoon.the East and West Branches of the Delaware and the Delaware.sacred waters. If you've never been there.GO! Go at least once before you die...you must make your pilgrimage to the home of American dry fly fishing. Wet flies were already being fished on the Battenkill in Vermont and on the Broadhead in Pennsylvainia (on the legendary Henryville water), before fly fishing came to the Catskills.but "Dry Fly" fishing.it ALL started in the Catskillsso, if you wanna make it into heavennuff said? P.S. don't forget to visit the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum when your thereour first home in the Catskills, was an apartment on top of the gift shop there, for 17 and a half months..great times.great memories.

[VFB] Apologies
Sorry, I haven't been around much, been dealing w/ family health issues in Chicago & working through VA paperwork. To Jim & those in the Streamer swap, the White Smarmatrons are tied & the toe tags printed, I just didn't get them in the envelope & mailed before I left. I'll send them 2 day delivery when I get back so hopefully, Jim will have them by Tuesday. I'd overnight them, but there's no delivery until Tuesday anyway.
