You guys are to cool. When you get that guide service going if you need a reliable pack mule/apprentice I'll be there in a jiffy! It has always been something I have dreamed about, what serious fisherman hasn't? Maybe by then I'll have found the money to finish this degree or scored a job with the forest service or something. From what I can tell most of making flies that sell is a catchy name and Chartreuse Hedgehog is a winner. Once you hear it its in there, add a recognized name telling folks it catches everything under the sun and moon and POW, you're in there.
So what sort of dates are we talking here?
