Since I can no longer wade in fast water, I have taken a particular fancy to saltwater fly fishing from a boat. I fish for speckled trout and red fish in Florida when on vacation. When you hook one of those babys , you need to tie yourself to the boat and hang on. Tight lines and welcome to the club. PS. I was named Teacher of the Year by the FFF in 1997, and my daughter was named Jr. Fly Tyer of the year in 1998.

You're in there with an impressive bunch of guys, Flyflinger. Bear Reed and Michael Ames were my fly fishing mentors before moving to MO. And I've worked with the kids at Conclave with Al Crise. Ol' Al is a hoot to be around...

See ya at the 'Bug!

Arkie, you guys run big circles. This is another good fishing forum. Yall have a good time at sowbug?
