Jimmy, With your feet the way they are, you should take me to Padre Island so we can fish redfish on the flats. I could put that Tibor on my 8wt and test out the drag for you.
Once I retire, I'll pick you up on the way there with my toy-hauler and we can spend a month or two on the flats. DonO ----- Original Message ----- From: Jimmy D.

I don't know about ya'll, but I've kinda enjoyed the peace and quiet we've had these last few days. Now we have a little lull and that perplexes me. I've been looking to see a post that all of us can join in on and help another VFB member. Or at least have a fishing/tying problem to share with the group. I've even tried to slip in a controversial Quote for the Day, but only one or two of you have commented. I'm sure this is just a passing thing and you guys are' either fishing, tying flies or doing other family oriented stuff. Many of us have been blessed with the opportunity to go fish. I wish I could, but alas, my feet are so shot that the only wading I can do is on a smooth, gravel bottom. So, I'm tying more flies than usual and working on my second outdoor humor book. Jody say's I'll never finish it, but I will just to spite her. I'm looking forward to Sow Bug and getting to see old friends. I've missed the last two because of family opportunities. I love the VFB and without it, there would be a big hole in my heart. You guys have done so much for me and especially for Jody during her bout with breast cancer. I love you guys and gals, and count all of you as "Family." SO . . . What's going on in your neck of the woods. Anybody want to talk about spine vs spline or Furled leaders? :-P ;-) P.S. If you have a new rod, reel etc. that you'd like to brag on now's the time to do it. I'll start it off. My oldest son gave me a brand new Tibor Light fly reel for my 70th birthday. Its a neat dark green and is the Tail Water CL model. and is engraved with my name and Happy 70th Year of Fishing. Have A Goodun. JIMMY D **************** ><((((((((º> ****************** JIMMY D.
