Rumor has it...
I 've been hearing a few things lately and just thought I'd pass 'em on.........

Did you know that Carrie Stevens chewed Beechnut and used just a smidge to secure JC nails to her Gray Ghosts.
That...Jimmy Houston invented the blood knot for tying tapered leaders and Bill Dance just bought a Sage 509-4 TCX for his upcoming blooper vid "Fly Fishin' With Bill".
Walmart is selling Orvis CFO III's for $29.95.
Zane Grey caught a 1495 lb. Blue Marlin on a Snoopy Rod using 10 # Berkley XL.
Did you know that furled leaders were invented by a hair dresser? She came up with the idea twirling her finger in a costumers hair!

and the Wizard just stopped by and told me this one: Some Orvis guide caught a 15 lb. Permit on a Raghead Crab in Henry's Lake, Idaho. New state record! Oh..and he sez the CDOW is stocking Bonefish in the stadium stretch of the Platte River in down town Denver. He heard that a special Bonefish Stamp is required in addition to your normal Colorado fishing license. Strict enforcement of the new requirements will be applied and big fines given to violators.
