    That green quill is especially jazzy looking. I like it! Just bought some CDC...will have to try!

    I like the quill too - and I'm going to try it on some notoriously finicky grayling this coming weekend. I am curious what their verdict will be...
    But so far the best scorer of the lot was the scruffy emerger.
