Hi Rick - thanks for that, made my evening.

I'll look up the stripped herl from Natures Spirit. I've only had access to dyed herls that do need some treatment with Dilly Wax to avoid splitting during the wrap.

I'll work on a fly set for you through the Spring and Summer. The first set of swap flies are still out there somewhere, so the back up set were a touch rushed....

You know, I still dip in to Modern Midges most weeks. There's always something new that has been overlooked during previous visits to those glossy pages. A brilliant work.

Thanks again, enjoy the Spring.

Andy
