Folks: It is only about 6 weeks from (official) Spring here in the states and I'm excited about catching some "Mr (or Mrs LOL)Bass".. I just got an order today from Lines End with some great deer hair for spinning bass bugs. Some VERY colorful strung saddle hackle feathers,some super strong rod tying thread to spin the hair with.. Some Nickel plated eyes for them clousers etc.. My wife bought me a brand new Sony Cyber-Shot DSC H2 Digital camera with it's awesome 12X optical zoom lens and great macro to take pics of flies.. That thing will take pics with the lens TOUCHING the object. I put it one inch away from my finger and you can clearly see every ridge in my finger print.(Oh, and Best Buy has em on sale for $314.95 BTW... She bought me a brand new 5/6weight 9ft Scientific Anglers rod with matching reel... Brang it on Mr Bass.. I plan to be ready... I must have been a good little boy for her to get me that stuff.. AND.. My beloved Nissan Fishing truck (that SHE ran hot and warped the head on ) is in the shop, and they are supposed to get it cranked off today sometime.. Now, I wonder if she'd buy me a new boat.. Well, I better not push my luck LOL, Chuck
Then, I had subscribed to Fly Fisherman magazine online cause our stores don't hardly carry it here for some reason, and the Dec '06 issue came today, which I had not read, and it had a great article about striped/hybrid bass, which we have tons of in the river here, which is only 7 miles from my doorstep.. Life is good
