To everyone that responded, thank you. I see that it is an accepted practice, one that I will have to develope a bit and try. And for Ed, The origonal question was directed to the warm water lake I fish, when it comes to Trout, belive me, I love dry's wets or whatever to perfect my skill and try to catch them, ( However we have very little trout water here without a fairly long drive), and I do love small stream fly fishing. Your comments are very welcom and I for one also look forward to you sharing your knowledg and skill with us. Jimi
Ed, My friend, My post was not really with you in mind, so as to 'harp on you'. It was my humble opinion, just as yours was, and to be sure, neither is any more valid or less valid than the other. My experience comes from being out there in Baja, sun-baked and wore out and wondering what the heck I was thinking of. Now, in my trout-fishing, there's a whole different story. I am a dry-fly enthusiast, as my post about half-moon lodge points out. You and I would have a lot to agree on there. So you're not in trouble with anyone, especially not me, as I respect most anybody's opinion, even if I don't agree with it. And your thoughts are more than welcome here, if fact, they're encouraged. We get the best threads going when two people disagree on a point. So don't give up your guns. Tell Jimmy and me we got snot for brains and proceed to tell us how it really is. I disagree with Jimmy at times just to get his goat, although I really agree with him secretly. And I tease Jamieson about bass. Because that's what it is all about- having fun. I appreciate you being here, and really apoligize if anything I said hurt your feelings. Would some cree hackles make you feel any better?

Well, Jimmy and all the others who have found it necessary to " harpon" me. You are RIGHT and I am wrong- to each his own. The fellow asked for opinions- that was mine. It is just not for me- so now that you baked me- " I'm done"- so stick a fork in me. Glad to see you now how to use a dictionary- did not know this was an exacting forum. Thought it was for fun. I've been here for a week and already in trouble. Thanks for making me feel welcome.
