LF, I'll be going to that symposium snipe mentioned. Since I know absolutely nothing about reading a stream, I figure he'll sound like a genius.

I'm bringing along a 15 year old guy who has fished with me but has never fly fished and he's fascinated with the whole thing already. He's already tied a fly and can't wait to get there tomorrow to try some more.

With any luck, one of these guys will show me how to cast longer than 20 feet and the kid will have a good time.

happy spring!
