...which begs the question; can you fish the Bad Lizzy while listening to Thin Lizzy?

OMG, the amount of money I've invested in archery equipment over the years is beyond staggering. There is not a bigger group of 'tinker-happy' people on the planet than those what plays with bows and arrows. You started off with a Bear? My first compound was a York. I've got trad bows that will shoo...

In spite of the problems that folks seem to be having with this piece of equipment, I'm pretty sure I need to buy one. I mean, tinkering with our toys is half the fun.

Dubbing loops are the bane of my existence. About the only thread that I can't break on a regular basis is the Danville 6/0. I have much better luck using my block and making dubbing bodies, as opposed to the more convenient loops. My dubbing twister of choice at the moment is a 1oz. lead egg sinker...

Apropos of nothing; every time I look at the hackle on this fly I think, 'cellophane noodles' and I want to cook up a stir-fry.

...if I want to eat it, so will the trout.

Steve's website is a gem. Publishing a quarterly magazine would have taken the starch out of anybody. Hopefully he can decompress and simply write articles for the web site.

That's the perfect name for that fly. Nicely done, sir.

I wonder what was going through Gordon's head when he conjured up that name.

I knew there was a reason we had the same birthday!

Lol, were those things convertible, or right side reel only?

Good luck fishing!

Have I mentioned it's good to have you back?

...I will.
