    Yes, thank you very much. Going to enjoy that!

    PaDave - If you scroll down the page that Donald has provided, you will also find a whole bunch of stuff on the Grateful Dead! LOL!!!

    Donald, Cool link! Thanks for posting it! Some of the most interesting and useful bits of fishing information I've read come from "old" writing on the subject.

    Dave S., I have to laugh. I posted the Dead thread after running across a video of the Dead playing at the Playboy Mansion back in the late '60s...the video was on the website for a local fly shop.

    I finally realized that Life is a metaphor for Fly Fishing.

    Donald,

    Thank you, my friend. That will be an interesting read during the rain/snow that we are being pelted with. High, muddy rivers mean bad fishing, so I'll have another cuppa and enjoy a good book.

    Thanks for the direct link to the book. I use archieve.org alot for old music but sometimes things get misclassified on that site and are hard to find.

    Thanks again.
