No but it sounds as if you have been, just because he uses a pin.

Sam to some it is not a hassle, it is a craft, an art which is not necessarily connected to fishing. I knew some people in the Sussex Fly Dressers Guild who tied some quality flies who never went fishing, however I do understand that the hectic lives we live today it is not always possible to...
Make a ball of bread paste, the best base mix there is as all fish will take bread. Grate Canadian Chedar, and add some Danish Blue. Kneed the mix together in the following proportions: 50% bread paste, 25% Canadian Chedar, 25% Danish Blue. Work in a small amount of spreadable butter to get the...
