I appreciate the kind offer and of course it's up to you but I plan on being at the Ware next Saturday and if you want to get your net at that time just let me know. I also appreciate your kind words on my gear. We'll see. <br /><br />You're right Ken good people are on this blog !hockey_dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00046143870683776193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461245170077475695.post-67777174183171831362017-05-15T20:42:03.996-04:002017-05-15T20:42:03.996-04:00Hey Hockey Dad,

Good people are on this blog!<br /><br />Bob T,<br /><br />I enjoy your comments - all good information and insight. I have been using Nature's Spirit in 1 gram packs. Lots of large feathers but I will scope out those 5 gram packs. I may buy a duck also!!!!!<br /><br />KenMillers River Flyfisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834066906971183890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461245170077475695.post-31527335325662832732017-05-15T20:19:35.719-04:002017-05-15T20:19:35.719-04:00Hey Ken as a fellow CDC aficionado I too agree the...Hey Ken as a fellow CDC aficionado I too agree the cost of these feather is rather stiff but then again I just purchased 3 whiting necks so.... I do have a couple of recommendations: Utilize the Petijean Magic tool to get the most out of each feather. A google of his You Tube videos will give you an idea what you can do with the tools. 2. Montana Fly Company (MFC) sells good quality CDC in 3 gram pack for about $7.50. Its a lot of feathers...also I find the Marc Petijean CDC to be of superb quality and it too is sold in bulk quantity of 5 gram packs in addition to the 1 gram pack and the last source would be Trouthunter CDC... 3.5 gram packs excellent quality. The small packs most fly shops have are maybe 20-25 feathers...a 1 gram pack probably has 50-60 feathers and a three gram MFC pack has well over 150. Those three brands have large feathers which if you use the magic tool will tie a ton of flies.

First time I needed size 10 dries! Big hatch of green drakes? Ames picture of bwo duns matches exactly (page 120) but these were 20mm at least.never seen flies that big on the swift before but haven't fished in the spring much. Is this a usual season event?<br />C&RAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461245170077475695.post-70073470469668802962017-05-14T19:21:02.915-04:002017-05-14T19:21:02.915-04:00Found: wooden net on the upstream part of the Ware...Found: wooden net on the upstream part of the Ware river at the bridge that was loaded with fisherman yesterday morning. Found the net at about 10:30 am. It looks like a good net and I am posting this because a couple of weeks ago I lost a rod and reel which I had for about 30 years, bought it for one of my kids( it turned out they didn't like fly fishing). Put up sign near where the rod and reel was lost and still waiting for someone to come forward, I thought of my situation when I saw the net. hockey_dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00046143870683776193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461245170077475695.post-48246862062227426112017-05-14T19:16:03.928-04:002017-05-14T19:16:03.928-04:00Ken
