I wish I had known. What kind of panfish do you think it was? I wanted to
catch trout so bad but the smallmouth was great. Man is it beautiful up
there. It was cold in May. I bet it is real nice right now. We were just
out of the town where they filmed a real popular movie, I believe it had
Chevy Chase and was about a couple that moves to a small town. He's a
writer and the whole town winds up mad at them. Anyway, I can see why you
love fly fishing if you live up there.

Hey Tom, what part of Vermont are you in. Linda and I left Florida in May
and stayed in a campground on the West River out of Brattleboro, Vermont.
It had been twenty years at least since I had picked up a fly rod but
knowing I would be up there, I bought a Scientific Angler Set before we
left. I did not have a way to tie flies so I bought some "store-bought"
varieties the locals said were good. I did catch a good size small mouth
and several panfish that I did not recognize but they ran like crazy.
Here is the irony, three weeks ago, my father-in-law who has infazema gave
me his fly tying setup. He had two vises, three bobbins and other tools,
hackles, saddles, just an unbelievable amount of "stuff". Because of this
group, I am learning what all of it is. Hey, I can even do a "whip
finish" already.

Eric...
How come you didn't stop by my place for a visit? I'm only 20 minutes from
Brat.
