Same time same place as the last one, a fortnight ago in Croxley. Met up with Graham (Salmo) and what a surprise but Roy Christie as well and went really for the fly tying stuff as I have decide that I am nearly reaching saturation point with regard to my books. There are probably no more than six books I am craving for now without counting the new ones that come on the market regularly. Also introduced myself to Chris Reeves a magic fly tyer from Surrey. The capes that were on offer went for prices much higher than I was prepared to go. A superb Jungle Cock cape was up for grabs quite one of the best I have seen - I thought I'd bid twenty pounds for it but it finally went under the hammer at £50.00. I went a bit silly and bought a jamboree box of tying stuff at £28.00 and was quite pleased when I discovered over six hundred hooks worth £40.00 inside together with copious amounts of seals fur and some great synthetic dubbing, a mink skin, a fox tail, a purple cape and a lot of other bits and bobs. So the trip was worth making in the end. But I've got to stop meeting up with Roy everytime I do so I end up crying with laughter.
