Guest Report post Posted January 29, 2004 Now that the contest is over I wanted to share this with everyone. Manny A decided not to enter the contest but sent one fly for us to put into our display case of flies for the contest. It was the first "classic" that I have ever personally held in my hand and I must say it is amazing. Thanks Manny for sending in such a beautiful fly!

Guest Report post Posted January 29, 2004 That exact same fly is the original D.Ranger I posted in the gallery Nov. 19/03. It looks awfull now! It was a big mistake in my part that I sent it to Will through an ordinary envelope which I've done in the past .I should have been wiser in doing so. Will, fellow members, If the look of that fly made you gag and feel insulted,( It made me feel like an idiot) Please accept my sincere apology. I"M SORRY!
