Peterjay 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2008 This would make a pretty good short story and I wouldn't even have to buy the rights - heck, nobody else pays Graham, why should I? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2008 Maybe I should work on my wish list, and forward it to the author. Nikon D3 200-400 f/4 400 /2.8 600 f/4 That should do it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted January 10, 2008 Naw Graham, you would want something faster than a f/4 on the 200-400 and 600 wouldn't you? I'm thinking like a 2.8 or something like that. Heck if your going to wish you might as well wish big. lol Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2008 I'd be happy with either of those lenses, the 200-400 is about $5,000 and the 400 /2.8 and the 600 /f4 are about $9,000 each. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peterjay 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2008 Of course we're all going on the assumption that Graham took the pictures in the first place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2008 Yes, I tyed the fly's and took the photos...lol... I even have a step by step on my site showing the caddis being tyed. I even saw one of these caddis, tying-in-progress photos, last spring on the J Stockard website on their fly tying page, and I remember being surprised that they used it without asking. I just assumed that anything I post on a forum they sponsor they could use. I really cut back on posting realistic fly photos on forums. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oatka 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2008 Graham, do you remember back on November 3rd at my house? Did you meet my son Seth? he's the 5 year old. No, not the one that tied the fly with a sail, the younger one. Well, I'm sitting here reading this and he comes over so i decide i'll tell him about this. I said "Seth, do you remember Graham who came to GFP in november?" he said that he did. I said check out this fly he tied. then i pulled up the picture from "The Book" and before I could tell him why it was funny, he said "it's like an extra gold leg." yes, let me put that in bold for anyone who couldn't understand what happened in about 5 or 10 seconds..... MY 5 YEAR OLD SON FOUND THE HOOK IN LESS THAN 10 SECONDS, AND IDENTIFIED IT PROPERLY AS AN "EXTRA GOLD LEG" (he just said "send it" about this message. "Do you think Graham is on the computer right now?") jbrowning, pass the popcorn! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted January 11, 2008 Oatka, I got the good movie theater popcorn and not the mini bags. The popcorn is on its way. This is going to be a good weekend I think. lol jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2008 Just knowing how pissed the author of the book must be about the fish hook being there, has value to me. Today, on and entemology blog site, I learned the word Nerdsplosion. Apparently there are a number of people that are very happy to see the fish hook in the fly and use it to discredit the book. Oh well, another day..........lol.............. pass the pop corn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
