Got tired of video games, started fishing, led to me fishign every day, led to saltwater fishing, led to fly fishing and now i do all that plus the art of tying, hell im not great but practice makes perfect.. or does it? anyways point being is ill get there one day, im all self tought, theres 1 fly of mine floating around, the peppermint minnow. umm yea mayb this post was a waste bt w/e Keep it up bro, and you'll see that in 10-15 years you'll be in better shape and healthier than all the ones who didnt get off the couch. The sickness that we suffer from is terminal with no cure, and no one looking for a cure. In 70-80 years you'll prolly die of it, that is if you dont get married.

Shoot Wayne, thats a great idea. Never thought of that.

I have been tying clousers both ways for awhile now. Sparse and thick. Sparse for the smallies and others and thick for the whites. The whites didnt seem to like the sparse, I ended up catching more on the thick patterns. The Largemouths didnt seem to care, if it moves, its food.

I used to write a lot of code for assignments. Give me a 2 liter of Dew and a pack of smokes and I'd write code for 18 hours+. Then I noticed that alot of the computer geeks I went to LAN parties with were drinking it also. So I figured Dew was the lifeblood of computer geeks! We should start a thread about the trouble calls we get, huh Tim? These guys here would not believe us on most of them!!!!!!!!

Well, I'm a network administrator and that means I have a lot of contact with computers. Any Computer Geek will tell you that the Necter of Life for us is Mountain Dew. But if I'm in a philisophical mood, give me 3 fingers of a good single malt scotch and a good cigar and I can tye for hours.

Been there and done that. lol At least the price was right!!!

I just picked up an old Hedon 9' 8wt rod to use for Bass. It started me wondering, how many of 'yall use "old" glass rods? I have a couple that I still use from time to time. I kind of get the feeling that the old rod knows what its doing and I should just let it do its thing. You know, kind of like the old joke about the young bull and the old bull. Any way, I was just wondering. I love those old rods, I cant help but wonder where they've been and what fish they caught.

I cannot believe someone put that up there and called it a Fly Tying Vise.

Yeah, I may not make as much here as I did in Kansas City, but my therapy costs are WAY down. I work about 2 miles from the dam. hehehehe

I just built a new SQL 2000 server at work, but I dont think I can let all you guys into our network!!! And yes, I have a little database all my own, hidden deep inside.

Just above Swan Creek mouth at Forsyth. Pot Hole if you know it. Small black woolie.

Yeah, Arkie, there is one here in Branson. I saw all the Lord of the Rings on it!!

When she gets the big discount let us all know and we'll all order one!!!!!!!
