If nothing else, it's a way to fill the long, dark winter hours. :-)

My eye sight was never the greatest so tying small flies for freshwater were
out.
Spending time on ROFF will drive you nuts
so perhaps
I need to learn to play some fly fishing songs
Are there any?

If you're reasonably handy and have some extra time, building a couple
of rods would make special gifts. It's not difficult at all. I've bought
nice kits at hookandhackle.com.

Can't get hookandhackle.com to come up on my browser. Anyone else
having this problem?

well, i will second the other wayne's advice: contact waldo at
ezflyfish.com. i don't know if he still handles the series, but he put me
on a little hardy 4 piece that is a joy.

but, then, i am infamous for taking the position that the best purpose
for sage fly rods is in beating large, dangerous snakes to death.

I cannot find too many fly fishing songs - really only one
Plenty of fishing songs - a plethora of tunes and songs but nothing on FF

Does anyone know of any?

Here's your chance, Fred. Write some and produce a 'Sounds of Fly
Fishing' CD .... put me down for an autographed copy

You could start with a Heavy Metal number called "Chuck and Duck"

Sorry, I've been away casting and blasting down south.

Yes the Launch is what I had in mind. Good luck.

Tis the season. . .
We wish you would clean our fish, miss.
We wish you would clean our fish, miss.

And bring us some beer.
