Wow, that was a fast bunch of replies. Thanks.

Now let me get this straight...Chop the wood, make the coffee, bring the donuts and wipe my boots off outside...Easy stuff.!

So I load the reel with "Backer line?" then tie the Floating Fly Line, then add a tippit? Then at last get to put on a dry fly. (And they thought Bass fishing was tough he-he) Then I get to go to the lake and let my wife show me how to "Flip" the line (Yes, she use to fly fish, but did not get into the details) Her dad is the one who taught her and she really wants to get me "Hooked" on it so... here we go.

I have a friend in Norwood, MA who use to tie his own flies...remarkable operation. I might consider it this winter.

Any more recommendations...besides jelly filled on the donuts?
