Excellent - take photos!

Hey, you may be interested in this - John Betts and my new book Fly Lines - how to make them is done, at the printer and will ship the first week of May. I am taking pre-orders for it now and it is selling quickly. If you have any interest in making your own line to go on that reel check it out!
