Hey Chuck,   Theres a kid like that next to one of my customers hat I give all my flies to. The first time working there I saw him practicing casting his fly rod. That was about 4 years ago, since then I give him my flies for the year and rety over the winter. I would have to say that by now he must have some collection of flies. To this day I dont know his name but I do know that he and his father do fly fish both fresh and saltwater and I do still give my customer flies to give them since I dont have the time to use them myself. I have the time to tie but not to fish all the time. I am just glad that I know they work and somebody has the time to use them,,, especially that I know a father and son spend time together using them!!                             Ray Gattus Sr   In a message dated 4/22/2006 6:19:27 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Well, I'm embarrassed and proud at the same time... Last yr there was this kid who has a single Mom cause his dad left them etc etc .. And, Him Mom had bought Him a $29.95 Wal Mart combo fly rod.... Well, I tried to teach Him how to cast, and he was doing OK, when I left, and I saw Him a time or two since then. This is a City Park, and has shell cracker wayyy over a pound each. Well, Him and His Mom were there when I got there today, and He was casting his fly rod with live redworms on the hook.. I gave Him Mom a few more flies for Him to try, but he already had a 12 packer slam full of BIG shell crackers.. Then, while I was there, with My fancy tied flies, he caught about 20 more "Big Uns".. I caught (snicker snicker) TWO LOL,Oh well i taught Him too good.. Or I need to use red worms....But, that new rod is SWEEEEEET"!!!!!!! Chuck   ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: vfb@troutnet.com Sent: Saturday, April 22, 2006 1:56 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] Boooo Hooo Hooo well, good luck to you Chuck,,,still raining here,,and actually got colder, so I might as well tie flies.
