    Is it wrong to be jealous? I dream of the day I can retire and the most stressful decisions of the day will be: Fly or Spinning, Acoustic or Electric. Congratulations on your upcoming retirement!

    Try a 12 or 14 bhpt stripped in slow and steady. Works for me on stocker trout in the lakes around here in KY. Bead Head Hare's Ears work pretty well too.
