Yesterday (Feb 18th) I went to the Lancaster Fly Fishing Show & saw 2 club members there. It was a good show that was well attended. 
Lefty Kreh, while giving a presentation @ show that included fishing in cold weather, mentioned that his fingers get cold because he had frost bite in them during his Army days at the Battle of the Bulge (in WWII).  He is a true war hero as well as a great fisherman!! 
Shown below is Bob Clouser, demonstrating the tying of his Clouser minnow.

Ken Reinard was also there (he is from nearby Lititz) & was the "Colonial Angler" @ his booth.  As you know, he hand ties flies (NO vice) according to the traditional methods of the 1700's & has demonstrated his skills as a colonial fly fisherman @ Williamsburg, VA.  Note his sign which explains his colonial business in writing but for those that couldn't read then, the pictures explains his business.

Want to make a lot of money? Then tie special flies & charge a fortune for them, as shown below. The top one is offered @ $400 & the bottom one for $300!!
