    I crush it with my vise jaws before tying. That seems to get it pretty flat.

    It seems like 1 in 15 hooks break when I pinch the barb. I'd rather have it break on the bench than on the river.

    I've always been curious about the bare shank behind the hook eye on Catskill style dry flies. Is it simply tradition, or is there a theory behind it?

    Hi Jay,

    I use Squarespace. They're not the cheapest but they make it easy--especially the domain name transfer. It took about an hour to create my page.

    Seriously guys, once you fish from a pram you'll never go back to a pontoon or tube. $350 is a steal.
