Thanks for the happy welcome, folks ! I'm glad some of my old FAOL friends are still around.. And, yes, Jim, we got more snow and water than we know what to do with. My place is out on the edge of a little valley, and on high, safe, ground unless we get Noah's version of rain. I'm just now draggin' my gear out of 'mothballs' figuratively and literally... Got two rods to build, and lots of vacancies in my fly boxes......
