Dito. No cabin, very(!) seldom grumpy.. and still in my 30's. Today I'm grumpy though. Got a(nother) nasty phonecall from my supervisor this morning, that was the drop making the water flow over the edges. But I'll be happy again after lunch... when I have gone over her head and told her boss

How about stuck in the house fever?? Or my version: stuck doing yard work fixing fences so my daughter can get a puppy fever! Too much more and I'll reach grumpy old mendom a lot faster than I originally anticipated! Wayne --- On Tue, 4/13/10, J Balmer wrote: From: J Balmer Subject: RE: [V

Wayne, "...Fixing the fence so my daughter can get her puppy..." Ahhh Do you realize how fortunate you are? We all should count our blessings, and I wouldn't consider that one as "stuck". Put a fly rod in her hand and you'll have two fishing partners in the future. DonO - Origina

Hi All;   After meeting and watching Ron Knight at SOW BUG tie classic fly rod spinnerbaits, I've started trying to tie tying them.  Just palced an order with Janns Netcraft for rest of supplies I need.   This got me thinking, do any of you tie/fish and other of the Tom Nixon patterns?   If so,

Tony, Opal is made by UTC, it is a tinsel material. I use "Mirage" medium opal tinsel. I think most of the fly shops handle it. I think it comes in large, medium and small. Go online and look at the Hairline site, I think they handle it. ... Dave... On Apr 13, 2010, at 10:53 PM, Anthony Spezio

Dave, are you talking about a straight tinsel material, like 'Mirage' to use for the body, then elk hair for the wing? Mirage comes in a half-dozen different shades, and all are 'opalescent'. I use it for salt-water streamer cheeks also. I got a new opalescent material from Cascade Crest, I call

Wayne, I have fished and trolled forms and variations of spinner flies for mackinaw and pike when I'm up in NW Montana in the Flathead Lake area. No originality here, as the local shops are full of variations of half-lure/half-fly creations. The offerings get much larger than panfish flies, an
