I attended the F3T this past week at the Depot in SLC.  Here is my quick review of the show. I have thought about the last three years of shows and have decided in my opinion that the show has slightly gone down hill.  First off the organizers, volunteers, and employees of the Depot are [...]

The most productive flies as of late have been stoneflies [...]
