Gilly 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2005 cicero, I get my patterns from some old first edition books I have, Ray Bergman and Rodrick Haig-Brown. I also get alot of stuff off the internet, I have a whole series of Traditional Scottish Loch flies I plan on tying, using the colors of the prominant Scottish clans from tthe Victorian days and earlier, as well as traditional Irish flies. I have a real keen appreciation for the early ways of doing things, for example, I bow hunt using a sinew backed bow, and modern bows, black powder and stuff like that. Cheers, thanks for the interest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
