pacres Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Can't wait. This should be a good one. You guys will have fun with this one. The secret material is going to be tough.
Scratch Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Not a peep on this thread for 2 weeks - anyone confirmed that Dale will be about? Or Yo'Ballast?
Scratch Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 You guys will have fun with this one. The secret material is going to be tough. Great... knowing what Darren has been playing with lately... Kangaroo balls.

albertabowhunter Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 WTG Alex... I really like Docs nymph and Dales dry, but Alex your streamer looks pretty cool. Congrats, sorry I missed it...
RangerBob Posted February 23, 2006 Author Posted February 23, 2006 (edited) Oh yeah... almost forgot... Chairman Dave... revealing the secret ingredient. I'll Fickr some more up later on. Post 'em if you got 'em... and yeah... Alex's Streamer scored a perfect score. The only critique we had was that it shoulda used Red Biots... or Jungle Cock. Dang... now I gotta go buy some Purple B*stard Fur... and judging by the look on Doc's face there... he never wants to see it again. Edited February 23, 2006 by RangerBob
