Jimmy,
I like tying on the big hooks too. Most of
my tying is trout flies and not much larger then a 16 so the bigger flies are
nice. According to doctors my eye sight is excellent, however I'm noticing the
smaller flies are starting to strain the eyes a little more, not that I'm
getting old or anything, got a long time till that happens : ).

Yeah, I knew the harassment was at work, so I figured it I owed
it to you to harass you right back. Been a long, long time since I've been
harassed by the great and humble Jim Burbank.
:-P
BTW, glad you're doing a steelie swap this fall.
I've meistered two over the last six years and they're always a blast.
Besides, I love to tie steelie flies. The hooks being bigger sure
make it easier on my big ole hands.

cunning then most fresh water trout to catch.
Now you do realize that I was just harassing
you mostly because you just need to be harassed.

Re: [VFB] Recipes for Steelhead
Yeah, I know. But technically, a steelie is a
sea-going Rainbow, right? Ergo, it is a trout. I accept your
rebuke, for I don't normally call them trout either. Twenty
lashes across my nose with a big Steelie filet, basted with straight
Habanero sauce. :-P

Jimmy,
First off please don't refer to
Steelhead as, "Quote", "the best tasting trout". Steelhead is Steelhead, will also
except, Steelie, Metal head or winter or summer
chrome.
