Arska: I was in Kolding the past weekend giving a seminar to FFF members, I think I got a little notion on how it's gonna be at the festival Loads of fun!

Jukka Kuusela 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2007 It may help if you pull off a punch of fibers at a once. Just tied some nymphs and used Veli Autti style legs. -jukka- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
