Thanks Deanna,
We are doing well. Hope all is well on your end. Hoping to return to fly fishing as
well as my favorite group of fly fishers shortly. Looks as if our drought may be
coming to...
Recently, the wife went out to the shed to feed the cat. She has a bowl on a raised
shelf where the dogs can't get to it. When she reached for the bowl, a big old possum
was on it, hissing and...
Hey Folks,
After over two years of extreme drought on the Lake, most of my fishing holes are
finally wet again.*G* Looks as if the lake should reach full pool soon. My gear is
all cleaned and...
Yep! I totally agree. Excellent "Bang for yer Buck!" Nothing missing but the glitz and
glamour. Take that time you save by not polishing it and tie another dozen favorites.*G*
Warm regards, Jim
Hey Folks,
What a surprise when I dropped in a few minutes ago. I figured you folks would have
forgotten me long ago. Here is a picture of a red eared sunfish with a little size to him.
Caught...
It's been my experience over the years fishing some of the cypress swamps bordering
the north shore of the Santee Cooper Lakes of South Carolina, that short fly rods can
and do serve a very useful...
Hi Folks,
Over the years I have really enjoyed FAOL, Jim and Deanna, and the many friends
I've made on here. Wonderful bunch of folks! Alas, due to a couple of knee operations
and a severe...
Hey Buddy,
And that differs from the rest of us how?*G* Warm regards, Jim
Hey Mikie,
Christmas is alive and well in the hearts and minds of the children. Get
involved with them in some way and if it doesn't rub off I'll be surprised.*G*
Warm regards, Jim
Mr. Baker could have put a period after fishing and quit right there.*G*
Warm regards, Jim
Hey Deezle,
I started out fishing exclusively with long rods. Over the years, I have
almost exclusively fished still waters. Over the years, my rods have gotten
shorter and shorter by choice....
Hey JC,
I think your article "Start a Group" this week may be just the incentive I need
to get my groove back. I've got a fishing buddy I taught to flyfish a couple
of years ago and he asked me...
Wow, Thanks Betty and everyone. What a great group of folks.
Fact is, in addition to the shoulder surgury, I was suffering a bit
of burn out as well. It was preceeded by knee replacement...
I've never met a pat McManus book I didn't enjoy.*G* Warm regards,

Hey Folks,
For the newer folks that might not know, Qrrfsh1, or Captain Paul
as most of us know him, is the one that introduced me to using a
dremel to shape foam flies. He's a very talented...
Jack, probably a temperature fluctuation. Perhaps your water was
only "luke warm." *G* Warm regards, Jim
Hey Last Chance,
I'm not familiar with how you have your dremel mounted but just let me say,
it is all important that the dremel or dremel flex shaft be firmly mounted and
permit no movement...
Thanks John, but I have one on the way. Much appreciated however.
Warm regards, Jim
Aw Shucks!
Thanks guys.*G* Warm regards, Jim
Thanks gents, much appreciated! I can't get the mag here so if anyone can
scan a copy and email it I'd be appreciative.*G* Warm regards, Jim
Thanks Fatman,*G*
It's been a while and I can't remember which pattern it might have
been. Can't get the mag locally. If someone with a scanner would
copy and email to...
More info on the injured gent. Not a local, apparantly a military retiree
visiting from out of state. Was trying to catch catfish by hand. Instead,
he came up with a 550 pound 12 foot gator on...
Hi Folks,
It's all over the news that a gator munched on someone in the Santee Cooper
Lakes Sunday. Yep, it was right here on Lake Moultry, just a few minutes from
my house. The gentleman in...
LOL! Good un JC*G* Jim
