Hey All!! Sorry to hear about the nonfishing going on in your neck of the woods JImmy!! Same here...some good trout being taken on nymphs but no real major hatches yet. I think it's gonna be that kind of summer..
Anywho...I missed you guys so much, i was only off list a couple of days. Back on list with a new email address too!!! 7 days of non smoking and you should see the flies i came up with at work on Sunday!!! Awesome stuff!!! Some of the guys were ready to grab them right then but i am getting quicker!!. Rained here all day, so spent the day getting rid of all the energy cleaning the bedroom and closet.
Sorry for another email change Byard....with the fact i quit smoking, i needed a change and both my daughters said this new name was fun!!!!
