5 minute drive for rockbass, pike, carp.
Need to go at least 1 1/2hr + for cold water...

Glad to hear you're doing well. Standing in cold water was likely the best thing for it (clean it, reduce swelling AND most importantly, allowed you to fish).

I stopped in the morning to pick up a pack on the way to work. The discussions always surfaced about quitting, tried the patch - but with high BP - too much rise in pressure with the patch. Anyhow...

Only 2 sources of bamboo on this continent really - Andy Royer (the bamboo broker) and Demerest. All stores get their bamboo from them (from what I can tell). So I skipped the middle man and went to...
I've had the chance to sit in at one of Brian's seminars here for the local fly fishing club last spring. Walked away with an enormous amount of information and new / and surpriszingly easy notions. ...

For those not used to this stuff - take it easy folks.
Although we may snicker, giggle, tee-hee and chuckle about your woe's (when we're more than used to that stuff, and bbq in shorts in Jan and...
Well .... nearly 4 years of piddlin about - and I finally have a fishable hex bamboo (some assembly required) ... but it's ready to go .........

Been off for a spell - finalizing the move, getting kids settled in school, fall yard work, and of course getting a bug that took a couple weeks to shake.
Getting around to finishing the strips...

Kelly - great to hear things are well with you and you're out and about. How's the hip doing ?
