A very happy Christmas to everyone who visits and reads my blog. Since I started the records of visitors, the blog has received over 12000 hits from more than 80 countries. I am delighted that so many people have taken an interest and encouraged me to continue with the blog. I wish you all a lovely Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
I have always tried to keep the blog dedicated to fly fishing and tying. However, I wanted to add the news that my son, Oscar, was born on Christmas Eve. A better present you could not receive.
Best wishes,
~Dave

Congratlations Dave, I hope you are settling into the new family routine it is a whole new world, hard work but very rewarding. After 3 sons, we got a puppy instead this year instead though.
Great to see the new patterns, i am very impressed with the czech nymphs, makes mine look like they went for double helpings of Xmas pud. I also noticed the new patterns on #30 hooks, what weight of leader do you use with those?

Happy New Year folks. Thanks for the comments.
Vince: 7x is fine on the #30 so long as it's degreased. They aren't for everyday use ans certainly there will be people who won't want to go so small, but they have their day.

Many thanks for the info. Unfortunately my arms are shorter than the focal length of my eyes but I can see the value in having them in the box.

PS Slip some whisky into your bag for the Sweden trip, the prices are fearsome and a bottle of grouse will win you some local friends. And try the elk stew, fantastic..
Sound advice ;) I'll do exactly that...
