I got a pile of muskrat from a trapper friend that I'm gonna have to try out in a die bath. This article will be re-read a number of times! -------------------- Missionary for the church of partridge

They have a few copies at my local fly shop so I'll be picking one up next time I'm in. -------------------- Missionary for the church of partridge

Thanks for taking the time to give us this info Ashby -------------------- If you can't stand behind your colors, you had best find another flag!!!

I can also attest that dying is not as hard as you'd think it is. I recently dyed some burlap for a specialty pattern here.

I recently had my wife pick me up some burlap for tying and she came back with enough for 5 lifetimes... I'm going to have to cut this stuff up and try my hand at dying some burlap. It looks like burlap would make a great substitute for wool in nymphs (very buggy looking). Thanks for sharing. - Ray (Smallie Hunter - Nice article!) -------------------- - Ray (letumgo) <°)((((>< http://hatchesmagazine.com/patternsx/author/letumgo/ My Fly Tying Forum Pattern Submissions (Pattern Database Link)

When I looked at the initial posting I saw SmallieHunter's user name and assumed he had written the article. -------------------- - Ray (letumgo) <°)((((>< http://hatchesmagazine.com/patternsx/author/letumgo/ My Fly Tying Forum Pattern Submissions (Pattern Database Link)

Introducing Hatches Magazine

Hatches is an annual publication with a strong devotion to professional writing, beautiful photography and informative articles pertaining to both the artistic and practical aspects of fly tying. Each issue features 13 featured articles that span a massive 96 pages.

I agree with the feedback you have received about Hatches. This is by far the best magazine I have seen that shares the wealth of knowledge without the additional 30 pages of vendor advertisements. I understand they are needed revenue but it is refreshing to see the quality of your articles etc. without having to thumb through all of the ads. I also take three other periodicals that are OK but no where nearly as good as Hatches. I wish you continued success and would like the opportunity to have 3 year subscriptions some time. Thanks again for all of your hard work and excellent presentation in Hatches. Best of luck, I wish you a long life and can't wait until you are recognized as the number one periodical presenting fly fishing knowledge.
