WyoChukar,
Sent Tony an e-mail requesting purchase information, many thanks as usual! My buddy Ken Graft just picked up a 16 gauge Purdey built in 1908, DT choked IC/IC for Grouse hunting, now there is one sweet Best double gun!

That's F2F's photo. He's probably tying Royal Coachmans or something like that. |

As you know I'm not a fly fisherman. I was stuck between Royal Coachman and Emberger Royal Combo.
I'll stick to my jigs.

In the mid 80's I got stationed down in Lancaster for a year and got to know Bob Clouser in Middletown, Pa. very well. He had a picture of Lefty Kreh and him above the door to his shop. I would take every chance I had to go back to NC Pa. to trout fish my freestone streams and he finally convinced me to stay around and fish the local limestone creeks. Didn't go back North for trout much after I finally did LOL.
He turned me onto his 3 favorite trout flies which I still use today even here in the driftless area. One of them is a black foam spider body with rubber legs but they are cut a lot shorter than used for bluegills. And just a little bit of peacock herl tied in between the legs and body to help create air bubbles to give it "life". In warm weather it is deadly on trout if they will rise for you.
Never had much luck with a Royal Coachman except occasionally on native brookies in fast moving water. |

Every time you reminisce about your time here in PA, I get a little down Mike. Shelly's Sporting Goods is now a bank and Clouser's Fly Shop storefront is shuttered. Fond memories of both places, just too damn young to be reminded they're both gone.
If you get back east (and are still mobile), we need to meet up. Perhaps wet a line on Clark's. Take care.

WyoChukar,
I would definitely like one, in the Orange hunting safety color if possible.
