"There are you happy?!?!?! :bugeyes: Need a step by step? :dunno: Huh do yah? Well you ain't gettin one! its far to complicated and time intensive! :bs: BWAHAHAHAHAHA! :hyst: Just kidding, just kidding" he mutters and kackles :ban: as he shuffles off to his fly tying room picking feathers and bits of deer hair from his head, gesticulating wildly :butt: at no one in particular.....

Received some very nice brown Ausable Wulffs from Ibrb today. If the river will come down a bit (ie if the darn rain will stop), tempted to sneak one out and try it - the march browns should be popping.

We still have one open spot, and over a month left, if anyone is interested. Otherwise, I will return your extra fly if you tied 11.
