or as the immortal Bobbie Burns put it: the (something) plans of mice and men are often gang aglie! trip's off, so I'm here to receive the flies you all are tying so industriously. my sulphur boxes are going to be full with this unexpected extra week for the vise. it's lemonade time, as they say...
fly fishing and baseball share a totally deceptive simplicity; that's why they can both be lifelong pursuits.
i'll have time now to set up the photo studio so we can all see what we're getting. with any luck, that is.

Casey looking forward to seeing pics of the flies but really looking forward to getting the flies. I hope in a month I will get to try them out.
Remember we all live down stream
I don't tie, but if anyone wants some nice yellow lab puppy/winter undercoat fur (flea free), I throw about 3-4 brush fulls in the wood stove a day ... PM me.

... But a lifelong journey.
I choose fly rods the same way I do women, motorcycles, and cowboy boots...
go with what ever feels good, and keep on hand as many as I can afford
here are the 5 flies that are ready to go out. a handsome lot, i must say! sorry to make you click so much; photobucket and i just never did hit it off.

Hillard, they're not here yet, but now i know to keep my eyes open. there have been a number of postings on this board about how slow the postal service works when our great neighbor to the north is involved. thanks for the heads-up!
