garment Is made by simply pressing the two pieces sewn on opposite side as a button and hole together No fumbling with cold fingers and it will hold under tremendous pressures This Velcro is iold by the inch and comes in one inch widths and I can you from experience that swell worth the expense and the time to sew it an your garments I am using It and am going to put it on more of my coats etc

although the weekend improved The perch fishing is fantastic though 260 out of one hut alone Thais a lot of fish to turn your nose up at if you ore a purist out for white fish only The winds hove been from the southeast and southwest and this may be btamed for the slack in the feeding of the and lake trout though a lot of lake trout arc still swimming Jus I under the Ice surface Bill says if the windschange to the north or north east the fishing will improve I am starling on my list of want to see s at the Sportsman Show I find that with this list I can make sure that I don t miss anything
