Dr. D is a master in Buggs' mind, but he doesn't think much of what I tie.  And as 'crusty' as Rico is, he doesn't believe in scented flies.  You'll never know if your tying or fly is any good at all if they're biting on smell.  In the past, fisherman used to soak yarn in worm slime or fish guts and fish with that wrapped around a hook- maybe they still do.  It would qualify as a fly of sorts, but it's not really flyfishing.  What's that?  No, Buggs.  Just 'cause my tying 'stinks' it don't mean that's why I catch fish.  Can you say rabbit gumbo?  Anyone need a mess of hare's ear flies?

PS, Been behind the 8-ball after losing a week-and- half because of mom's passing.  Have to catch up on work, start a new project, follow up on a good lead, take care of 4 acres, and head back to Elko this weekend to take care of mom's home and the rest of her belongings.  So I've been lurking for a little.  We inherited a 'Shitzoo' dog, too- anyone need dubbing?
 
Also inherited some classical albums- the vinyl kind.  What the heck do I do with those?  And lots of orchestra, piano, and sheet music.
 
Jerry G.- THere's some Jewish folk records in there.  You interested? (My step-father was a concert classical pianist and Jewish)
 
Also trying to plan a Mokai trip.  Don't know when I'll have time for that, though, or my new Raptor, or tying, or anything.  :o(

You are all masters in your own minds, but you are a true master when you realize that there nothing more to learn then you already know, like me, as I really do know it all.  Not even Byard, Tony, or DonO come even close to what I know.  I should have been the Grand Master of the IOFF, and Emporer of the Flies (not just 'Lord of the Flies').
