[VFB] Are there any history buffs out there

If you are -- you will know that Pacific Steelhead fly patterns have been greatly influenced by Atlantic salmon flies.   And now some Pacific steelhead flies are showing up in the fly boxes of Atlantic salmon fishermen.   If you'd like to read a recent magazine article on this -- contact me off list at [EMAIL PROTECTED].   After you read it -- maybe you'd be interested in joining an Atlantic salmon/Steelhead fly swap.   The objective -- tie a fly that could be used for atlantic salmon, pacific salmon or steelhead -- e.g. general practioner, bomber, muddler, alexandra, winters hope, mickey finn or collie dog etc etc.   You should get a few new patterns to try.   No double hooks please -- and no weighted flies..   A dozen tiers max.   Ken MacGillivray Coquitlam BC   So far... 1. Ken MacGillivray (host) - general practioner   2. Iain Short - collie dog   3. Jon Emmons - mickey finn  4. Ashley Strutt (?) 5. Tyanna Steele -
