Right on, DonO! In case some of you wonder how DonO knows all this, I'll
let you in on a little secret. He's the one who ties the leader to the tree
limbs, sets out the milk jugs and furnishes Shakespeare "Wonderline" which
is the only line known to man that DonO's specially invented "Toe Knot" won't
come untied on. And, before I forget, he baits the jugs and drop lines
with "WORMS". Don't let his high and mighty talk about Whiting hackle fool
you. DonO's just an ole country boy from Sout East Loos-i-anna. Oh yeah,
I just lie back, drink a few cool ones and when I run out, DonO makes another
trip to the 7-11. I tried his cane poles, but at 40' and 6" in diameter,
they're a little too big even for a tuff Texan like me.
:-P Some day, if he behaves
himself, I might even let him have one of my beers.
Cheers !

Del,
Don't believe a word Jimmy's telling you.
He ties a chunk of leader to a tree limb
and the other end to a fly hanging in the water, to come back later after
a few beers to check his catch. His other favorites are nymphs below a
floating milk-jug, or sleeping it off on the bank with his line tied around
his big toe, waiting for a tug. Only guy I know that fly-fishes with a trot-line.
I been trying to get him to upgrade to
a cane-pole, but that's just too sophisticated for him to grasp mentally.
Cheers,
DonO
