Reminds me of my one day in "The Tower" in Groton, CT. Those of you
who've watched the show(s) about Navy Sub School know exactly what I'm
talking about.

I'll say a favorite fly box full of your favorite flies for your
favorite water. Store-bought flies, self-tied flies, friend's flies --
productive flies that you have confidence in, even if you don't know the
names or remember the lineage of most of them.

Anything else can be replaced with a lot of money and a little trouble.

Did exactly that last month on the upper Brazos, just below Whitney
Dam. Got caught in a strainer on my 'yak, and lost not only my fly
box, but my eyeglasses as well. :-( MUCH more upset about the
glasses, as I had paid $325 to have new lenses put in my favorite old
frames just 6 months prior. I have since fixed the problem of losing
the flies: I keep all my gear in an Orvis Safe Passage Sling Pack.
Keeps everything handy, but safe and out of the way until I want it.

Speaking of the Brazos....

Lost a fly box that was given to me by my adopted grandfather (my Dad's old
fishing buddy) while fishing the St. Joe a few years back. It was full of
flies that I tied as a kid that didn't mean much, however the flybox was
something that I can never replace and cherished, one of the few things I
had from my grandfather. Probably shouldn't of had it with me, however I
liked having it in my vest while fishing. After searching the best part of a
day, I gave up. Sad day for sure....

One's mind
It can be easily left on the river when the fisherman leaves to return home.

The condition accelerates rapidly - The subject starts leafing thru
mounds of catalogues throiughout the winter.

Do any of you know any person like this!!!???

If so please take him immediately for a drink
