You have my hand. I enjoy the challenge. I happen to have a thing about BOOBBERS. It is a personal thing and this does nit reflect on any one that uses them. They do the job but not for me. This morning Mike and I hit the river. What a great morning, Calm not a cloud in the sky and about 65* F. First Thing when I got out of the boat is I had not put my fly box back in my vest. I had also tangled my leader the last time I was out and had not replaced it. Mike started fishing and and almost as soon as he made the cast he was on to a fish. I had to borrow a fly from him. He gave me one of his killer red flies. I could not do a thing with it, while mike was catching quite a few nice trout. Mike was using a BOBBer, I was not. The end result was that I did not land a fish all morning. Had three LLR. I had a great morning just being out with a good friend. I guess it goes the same about a fish finder. if you are happy using it then use it if you have a thing about it then stay away from it. I really don't think it has a place in Fly Fishing. As one list member said, he would like it to see the bottom not looking for fish. I think I might of stepped on my own tail. Tony [EMAIL PROTECTED]
