Yes 1 1st class stamp should be plenty, remember that the envelope has to fit through that slot at the post office to qualify
& before you ask I don't mean the letter box slot.

Hi Clark

If you were on the look out for a rod you should have said as there are lots of nice cheap new or second hand 'lighter' rods going around....even cheaper than £80.00.

still, I'm sure you'll enjoy it when it arrives.

tight lines

It seems I've run out of Pheasant tail  :shock As there wasn't any readily available from my prefered source (road kill) I've had a frankenstein moment at the vice, once the heads are dried will be in the post Monday  :cool:

Fly that's coming is hares eary/montana-hybridy-type-"thing". But I use it, so everyone else can now too  :grin

Hamish  :z3
Did you post these Hamish as I have not received anything and just wondered if they had been lost?

Can you over do a tail on a pheasant tail? How many strands is normal ????/

Sandy Nelson

Re: MPH Swap
« Reply #98 on: 17/01/2009 at 21:58 »
3-5 I would say, would be normal.
Depends what you are trying to achieve :z8

Baz,

I guess that you can overdo it but you'd really have to be silly. I usually use 4 -5 fibres and they look and work fine. Also I guess it looks, from an anglers perspective, better when the tails have a slight 'spread' if you get my drift.
