John - Seeing the parabolic arc of the fly line in the diagram reminded me of several photos I'd take when fishing with some of our flymph brethren. One of the thing that had caught my attention, was seeing how carefully the line was controlled during their drift...a skill I am still learning to emulate.

Here is a picture of Chris Stewart (tenkarabum) fishing:

Ruard Janssen:

Eric Kelly (smuggler):

Unfortunately I do not seem to have any pictures of you, Bill or Lance during the drift. It seems like all the photos I had you guys was while you were catching fish.

Here's one of me casting in 1986 on De Puy's Spring Creek, fishing a PT nymph upstream. Whatever happened to that handsome young guy?

Thanks Bill.

Boris - I cracked up when I read your comment. Funny.

John - Is the hat considered a river keepers hat, or a ghillie hat? Either way, I love the style and look.

It was called a "British Fishing Helmet" of all things. Similar to a Deerstalker but not exactly the same. Orvis sold them way back. It was the best fishing hat I've ever owned and I wore it until it fell apart. Never seen another quite like it.

Here's another photo of me wearing that hat. Do you know who the other angler is?

It must be Ernie.

Wasn't Earnie known for his Bavarian hat also!

I've seen very few photos of him hatless over the years.

Someone's got to say it, Ray, in case there are any illusions.
