The Hallucinator - The ways of the hackle - Hackle guards and more

This is the first Global FlyFisher newsletter sent from the new system, so there might be some issues with it.

It's also short and simple. Consider it a test and a proof of concept. You can expect it to expand a bit and maybe become slightly longer in the future.
As always it contains links to the latest content, and ... not much more for now, actually.

So now the interesting thing is if it actually gets sent to everybody. We'll see.
