Best Valentine ever

Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

When you say "her" I hope you are referring to your wife and not your new Okuma?

The great thing about catch & release is that the fish can live to grow even larger.
In fact, I've known some fish to grow quite a bit larger before the fisherman even returned home.

Paul...does your wife have a sister? If she'd buy me fly reels and
stuff, doesn't matter what she looks like. I'm not that pretty either.

Glad to hear that, and I was just kidding btw...

And congratulations! Sounds like you have some cool gear and a thoughtful wife, not necessarily in that order.

Great gift. And BTW if anyone has thought about a custom rod you really need to look Steve up. I have one and he did a fantastic job on it. He will get more of my busness for sure.

Eastern Fly's data base entries

A Pitt fan, a Marshall fan, and a WVU fan are climbing a mountain and arguing about who loves their team most. The Marshall fan insists that he is most loyal and then yells,"This is for Marshall!" and jumps off the mountain. Not to be out done,The WVU fan next professes his love for his team. He screams,"This is for the Mountaineers!" and pushes the Pitt fan off the mountain.

I agree, I just got one built by Steve and he did an incredible job for a very reasonable price. He'll be getting more business from me as well.

You really are lucky Paul; I got yelled at all weekend for buying a new rod with money that I won at the casino. By the way I love my new Snowbee saltwater blueline 9 foot 9wt, it was worth it.

wow dude... I got yelled at for giving my wife a big heart-shaped box of dark chocolates... because she told me twenty-some years of valentine's presents are enough and "I don't want anything!". It was my birthday too! yikes...

If I was an "expert" people would be paying me to do this stuff. I just like to do what works.

J, sounds like you need a hug. Come on down and we'll snuggle deep in the holler...

Boy, you shor gots a purty mouf.

I got lucky this year. Had to work. Jamie didn't seem to mind me spending the evening with drunks. Did have one interesting booking. Booked a female, drunk, on attempted murder. Apparently she and her redneck husband tied on one hell of a drunk, got naked, and in the middle of it all, he called her by her sister's name. She reportedly stabbed him 12 times with a steak knife. Now, the question begs, "Why was there a steak knife in the bedroom?" When I asked, she told me "that's how I cut my weed." 'Nuff said. Welcome to the backwoods, boys!!

Hug your daughters, or someone else will.
