There are more in line. These indeed, are from an old journal. We are honored for his permission to publish them. I felt that his views were important; not the usual voice one hears often, if ever.
“How long does it take to learn fly-fishing?
No one knows.”

Jackster, coming from you, strong praise. Appreciated. Occasionally a writer just stumbles on a word or phrase that really does make sense, illustrates something or blurts out some point in a memorable way. It’s a ratio thing though for me as you know, takes many many words until it happens.
And Chris, yes, we missed it, held the ‘presses’ until the very last minute; but, thank you for all the previous ones you have supplied. I can’t give you %#$@ for missing because I still need those flies you are tying for our trip up your way. And I understand we may have to eat some of your streamside cooking.
Eric D, I removed your post. You must not have seen that there was already a string on the subject runnung.

Thanks for the Harry Murray quote this week, it is one of my favorites. I’ve heard it “from the horse’s mouth” a number of times. It just so happens that Murray’s Fly Shop is about half way between my house and my Mom’s so I get to stop by whenever we head down to Virginia. Even better, Mom is moving to a new place that will be within a stones throw of Murray’s! More money for Harry and more toys for me, now that’s what I call a win-win!
DYNAMITE box??? Using the old DuPont fly or the Nobel noodler??? Do we need to talk JC?? I really thought better of you than this!!! Skeleton in the closet, I say!!
Andy
all types of fishermen must pull together for the good of all!!!
Many things were kept in such boxes, Andy. They were a popular commodity in years passed; numerous, convenient, cheap (free often), fit under the bunk-house racks, folded oil-cloth would protect darn near anything in them. You could tell a man’s character by the names on his boxes and the condition they were in.
