Re: Happy holidays and candy cane
Man, that is beautiful. In my next life I want to come back and be able to tie married wings like that. It's the Christmas version of a Parmachene Belle.

Oh, you got soul, in spite of your choice of beverage. You can't be soulless and tie what you tie. Now, maybe we should be talking about that hat...

Re: Winter Larva
In the words of Led Zeppelin, "Ramble on". Winter fly fishing up here is usually out of the question. I have a window that slams shut right about ...two days ago. It was -7 below this morning, and the river was nothing but slush ice from bank to bank. I have a really good relationship with...
