something. Looking forward
Sounds like a great time.
No fishing here, yesterday was rain free, but the sump pump was still
running continuously we're supposed to get another big storm through
today.
I fish those zebras once in a while below Table Rock w/out the indicator; I
just watch the tippet/leader connection set
Looks like I won't be there this year. I may be in Steamboat Springs from
the 29th through the 2nd if I can get a reasonable flight from here, if
that happens I might be able to take a side trip on Saturday the 1st, but I
can't make any guarantees.

During our Annual Trout Kicking Festival on Taneycomo a couple of years ago,
the wind changed while I was casting a heavy #10 bugger. I pinch all my
barbs before tying. The hook caught in the skin behind my elbow. I couldn't
pull it out I didn't have the leverage to push it through. We had just
Okay, now I'm intrigued. To date, I haven't dyed much in the way of material
because I've been tying mostly for myself friends, it really hasn't been
necessary. I've used food coloring similarly to the recipe that Jack gave w/
less water once or twice I used Rit dye when Marcie was dying reed
If it works on rugs clothing, it ought to work on fox fur. Any particular
reason you want to use Kool-Aid? I would imagine food coloring would work
even better because you can adjust the hue.

I will be off net until Friday night, SO please send no attachments.
Off to San francisco
No fishing for me today. Wind is picking up ahead of the next storm; 22
knots rising. And, I have developed an aversion to waving 8 ½ - 9’ of
carbon in the air during thunder storms. Casting into the 20 knot wind w/
gusts was enough fun the other day, although I did manage to avoid hitting
myself
it is fish or not
at all. If I did not see the few rises, I would of passed on it but the rises
seduced me down to the dock. LOL

I would have been there too. Living w/in walking distance of trout
Some good fisheries in all this corn, but I have to drive for 6-8 hours to
fish for trout. Trolling in Lake Michigan just doesn't cut it for me.

I’d love to chat, but I’m gonna go see how bad my rhythm got over the
winter. Rivers are still too high the lakes aren’t quite ready yet so I’m
headed to the pond to see if the crappie bass are still lethargic.

Bloomington Illinois. No trout, but lots of corn. Well, actually some trout,
the lake in the central city park gets stocked in the spring, but they don't
last very long.

I recently made a portable tying desk out of my old cabinet fronts. I
replaced the kitchen cabinets saved the oak fronts; doors frames. I took
one of the smaller doors frames apart, cut the frame so I had a 2
vertical back right side to attach to the door front drilled holes in
the side
Like Tony, I use a metal straight edge a razor knife. I used to have the
same problem w/ the glue, or some of them would dissolve the foam. I started
using the crafters glue that the gf had haven’t had a problem since. Plus,
it stays more flexible.

Good luck. Asthma has become much more prevalent in children here, but is
