Well, Maybe his book Rubber Legs and White Tail Hairs would have been the better suggestion. But I was thinking Real Ponies had the piece "How to Go Splat". It is the definative article on how to fall properly, what droll comments work best as your falling, and how to properly score someone elses fall. I was wrong though, it is in The Grasshopper Trap.

But, Rubber Legs does have a valuable fly-tying lesson: Before using calf tail, make sure the calf is done with it first.
