MONTE,
Yeah, Patrick's Book is an iffy one, lotsa stuff makes you
wonder where he got his Information..but I still like to refer
to it from time to time. Just love his drawings of various
patterns....HA HA HA!!!!
I'm thinking of tying up some size #18 Werner Shrimps & seeing
how they'd do at ol' Hot Creek....bet you they'd slay 'em...
DEAN...
