boynabubble 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2009 Woohoo! Done! :headbang: OK. Here is my revised sparkle dun. I wasn't happy with the first version, plus I just got some Z-lon and some Comparadun deer hair. I think these look a lot better than the polypro and mangy Black Hills deer version. :hyst: I'll get them shipped ASAP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horseshoes 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2009 I'm in. With a Comparadacktle. This pattern is a killer :gun_bandana: :gun_bandana: on the Skagit River just north of the Canadian Border. When I lived in B.C. I used to frequent your town on beautiful sunday afternoons. I had to go there to get Maritime beer that they didn't sell in B.C. Had to go to another country in order to get a beer from Nova Scotia. ( 1980's) Go figure. Always had a good time in your neck of the woods. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was me. I was so preoccupied with getting a box and a return envelope that I forgot to do the obvious. Please millerwb, could you tag them for me?
