Nice job, even in the photo above. If you join the next exchange, how about a Euro pattern? Never heard of a "willie gun" until Malcom intro'ed it to the board. Found this pattern to be extreamly effective in the upper Rogue River here in Southern Oregon.
More "European Surprises" would be wonderful!!
