The sewing people have little machines for transferring thread between different sized spools.
They are pretty cheap as I recall.
I had my wife transfer a bunch with her sewing machine, when she still sewed.

Re: October Caddis Flymph in-hand
Back in 1976, while on vacation in Yellowstone and vicinity, good friend JB mentioned that the year before, he had watched Lee Wulff tying in hand. I had tried it a few times, so I said “I can do that”, and tied a LeTort Hopper to prove it. But it got me thinking, and when I got home, I set to work....

Re: No. 29 pale watery dun question.
Being a native Virginian, I call them possums.
The only people referring to them as “opossums” are those fanged uppity Yankees, and we all know they talk funny.

Re: Leisenring for sale
Good on ya, Ron.
I thought of bidding, but I have it, and at somewhere between 800 and 1,000 books on trout fishing I need to cut back.
Then, there are the food books and the books on guns, hunting and bird dogs.

Re: “Summer on the Test”
One of the true gems of fly fishing literature.
My preference for spring creeks has resulted in a pretty good collection of English chalk stream authors.
Where the Bright Waters Meet by Harry Plunket Greene is another that should not be missed, as well as anything by CF Walker.
