[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

"I have fished most of my life, from the time my Dad gave me a Heddon bamboo fly rod for my nineth birthday, through all phases of chunking and winding and spinning. I have owned my share of bass boats, bay boats, canoes, johnboats and pontoon boats.  I have fished in lakes, rivers, and streams and the gulf and pacific oceans and have enjoyed them all to the fullest, I have caught thirty plus largemouth bass over 8 pounds and enough King Mackerel and blues to live on for a year. However, all this pales when compared to catching a 10" rainbow on my little "flea rod", a 1 wt, 5 foot bamboo fishing my favorite river, the tiny Rayado in New Mexico, for on that little river, I was "reborn".

Jimmy D. Moore -  THANKS TO RICK ZIEGER FOR HANDLING THE QUOTES WHILE I WAS AWAY.

P.S.  I just returned from a great week on the Rayado.  Caught lots of rainbows and browns.  A full report will be posted later today.  The Chili Pepper worked!
