Thanks guys! I especially appreciate the concept of bending other kids to the fly rod...

Night before last Riley was tying Catskill Lights for a contest. His are #26. I have lots of trouble seeing them these days... And he just turned 15 and I have to look up at him. I was 6'4" in an earlier life.

Last night we were tying smolt patterns for lake trout. A trip we decided is an annual thing after the fun we had last summer. He got very elaborate for fish literally foaming the water chasing schools of smolts.
