[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY
"Contrary to common belief, it is not true that if you cut a worm-fishrman in half, each half will grow into a complete fisherman. For which we should all be eternally grateful."

[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY - FLY TYING FANATIC
This is one of my more popular poems. It can also be used as a quote. If you'd like me to post more of my fly fishing poems, let me know. All are 10 guaranteed to make you laugh. Have a Goodun. JIMMYD A FLY TYING FANATIC ! Cotton balls, wine corks, tow sacks, I save'em all. Craft beads, sparkle rope, doll's eyes, I'm walkin tall. Mosquito net, you bet! And it's already green, don't have to dye it. Just try it. You'll see what I mean. Sewing thread, parrot feathers, and purple yarn. I'll use most anything, and don't really give a darn. Closed cell foam and balsa wood. Anything goes. Why I've even used the lint from between my toes. Candle wax, bee's wax, ear wax, I use'em all. Soda straws, model paint bought at the Mall. Javalina hair& belly hair from an Armadillo. Why I even use eider down from my pillow. Longhorn tail hair, my hair and hair from my cats. I'll even use belly hair from a free-tailed bat. Black Visqueen sure makes good beetle backs. Cut'em out, glue'em on, hang'em on the rack. Thus is the life of a fly-tying fanatic. Could I use the fiberglass insulation from my attic? I throw away nuthin. I keep all kinds of stuff. With my kind of fly tying, there's never enough! By JIMMY D. MOORE August 23, 2005 © ><º> * JIMMY D.

[VFB] Quote of the Day
QUOTE OF THE DAY:I fish better with a lit cigar; some people fish better with talent. ~Nick Lyons, Bright Rivers, 1977 Eric Worm Reed City, MI 49677 "And when it all goes well, when your dog does the difficult and does it with style, what you get isn't a bagged bird but the honor of sharing a moment of penultimate drama starring the dog you love and the bird you love. That is a taste of heaven, friends, and it's why the dog man hunts. And frankly, most of us kick through one hell of a lot of weeds between glimpses of Heaven." -Steve Grooms -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
