[VFB] Fly fishing to the dogs

[Jimmy D. Moore]

Llassa Poo.  Best dog I ever had.  Had to put her down due to tumors at 
age 16.  Name - TAZ, short for Tasmanian Devil,  and small enough to fit 
into my Cowboy boot.  She loved to go fishing with me.  Would sit on the 
front of my boat and let me know when she spotted a fish.  When I caught 
one, she was just as excited as me and had to check it out before I 
released it.  She grew up with my 5 kids.  She definitely was one of our 
family.  

I would recommend getting a small dog.  They live longer and are easier 
to take care of and they take up less space in truck, etc..  The only 
problems Taz ever had were skin related - ocassional heat rash in 
summer, and then the tumors at the end.

I thought this might be a fun topic.
So, My wife and I have been talking about getting a dog...I
was wondering, those of you who have dogs...does anyong take
their dog out fly fising with them?  What breed do you have?

fly fisherman as the ability to read a defense is to a Quarterback."
