Holy canoli. Glad you just got a taste and not the full meal. Whoa

Aw, where's the fun in that?

Baron von Bullwinkle?

Yup, it's turning into that kind of a day 😉

Oh that's fun

Heff2, that would be great. I'll return them or pass them on when I'm done. I'll pm you my address and hope you'll at least let me Venmo or PayPal you the postage. And PD yes that's the one, mine's just an earlier version. The flies you list are always just about as good as any, and often better, almost anywhere I've fished, so that sounds right. I'll make sure to bring a lot of spiders. Thanks

Yes, you really can see it's a huge difference. And shows the value of all your hands-on experience. Yet I'm sure just the tip of the iceberg.Thanks for posting

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. And thanks for the link. TCO looks like a great PA fly fishing resource.

My daughter's going to start college in Pittsburgh this fall and I'll be visiting now and again over the next 4 years, with an eye toward extending some of my visits to fish at various places in the state. Last time I fished Pennsylvania it was 2000 and I bought this Meck book. 25 years later.... Is it still relatively current? Should I replace it with something better or more up to date? Suggestions? Any particular blogs or websites people like using for Pennsylvania ff? Thanks in advance.

I was in Los Angeles for the 1984 games, took a beautiful girl to a fencing match, the fencing was the last thing on my mind. (I was 20) Went to a few other events, but all I can specifically remember of being at the Olympics that year is going to the fencing match...

Just curious, how is it on sizes 4-8, and 10-14? Do you turn the jaw upside down and hold the hook in the wider jaw region (at the jaw base)?

... but I'm not sure I can ever muster the nerve. Best to you on your trek Norm, very happy to see you get out there. Rivers wait for us, but time does not.
