WHERE I HAVE APPEARED

I always, until the last several years, tried to keep Classic Salmon as a hobby.  I

Refused to photograph or publish my flies or thoughts for fear it would interrupt me on the way to mastering the classics.  I think I took the correct road because my head was

kept clear.

The following are some of the happenings on that road.

(2)    Won 3 Salmon Fly Tying Competitions.  The first one , l981, was against

Bill Wilbur (2^nd), Duncan (3^rd) and also Bill Hunter (4^th).

Bill Hunter, Ron Alcott.  I finished lst, 2^nd, and 3^rd with three flies.  I was

on my may now.

Australia, Canada and throughout the U.S.A.
