Fatman, those are awesome but the dark brown is off the hook!!!!! I can see a lot patterns being tied with those and a lot of fish caught as a result, fantastic work!!!

Nice colors Fatman. That's always been about half of my problem with tying...I can't find colors of materials I like or want to try. You've taken this to another level. Now as for dying....I'd have those colors scattered all thru the house  and one wild woman behind me with a board.

thanks all - the wife was shall we say not REAL happy!!!LOL but I had the counter covered and I bought some tall 2 qt. glass jars, and a good sized strainer at Walmart so I was covered.  When you get ready to drain wear rubber gloves and pour it into the strainer and rinse with warm water.
