Just say'n hey.
Just wanted to offer up salutations & a wave of the hand to the local tribe, have been want'n to learn to use a fly rod for years & just recently bought a used set up to cut my teeth on & have been just consumed with anything to do with fly fish'n, hope'n to polish some skills (skills might not be the best way to put it) on Blue Gills since they never turn down a fight & are just plain ol fun to catch, if I can master them thers bigger fish to fry out there.
Had a chance to be tutored by the notorious Jack Hise a few weeks ago, orn'ry cuss he is, he kept call'n me "grass hoppa" and insisted I call him "master Hise", told me to "use the force" & to let it flow thru me, every time I made a mistake he gave me a swift swat with a old 8wt bamboo rod, by the end of the day the seat of my overalls were thread bare & the rod was reduced to the size of a broom straw, but I started catch'n on by the end of the day.
Just say'n hey, ya'll.

At no time did I use my 8 wt. boo as an instructual tool, it was an old graphite spinning rod!!
