Damn. That's a distinction I thought I had earned for
myself only to see it awarded to Louie. I'm crushed.

No, you weren't repulsive, like you are on ROFF. You were merely nothing
special.

The deal with Warren was that I would pay his way to the clave. I did. It
cost me more than $400. Did you contribute to his trip? I doubt it. And, I
certainly didn't lure him. It wasn't my idea. I only financed it. Lots of
folks wanted to meet Warren and I provided them that treat, bad feet and all.

You're a bragging, double crossing ****heel, Dave, and I'm sick of it.
When you insult me for something as ridiculous as stating why I dislike
loops, I'm coming back with both barrels.

The San Juan clave: you enjoyed fishing the Kiddie Hole for beat up old
trout
that didn't fight when they were hooked. They had been caught so many
times
they were little more than pets. But, there you were, in the middle of
them,
doing the San Juan Shuffle. Pathetic.

I have a photograph of you fishing in the Kiddie Hole. I think you were
trying to snag floaters.


Hey, whats wrong with the Kiddie Hole? Charlie Choc and I started there our
second day at the Juan this summer, and for about an hour we were the only
people out of about 10 who passed through who caught any fish at all, and we
were hauling them in. It was a blast! I have fond memories of that spot.

I take it that you found these satisfactory but not at all essential?

I look upon it as just another gadget. As far as gadgets go, I think the
leader link has it beat all to hell. I'll stick with the nail knot and a
perfection loop.



Heavy mono and loops or braided loops with the fly line tip pushed
into the overlapped section and the nail knotted to the fly line
(never trust the heat shrink tube). I use one nail knot right at the
end of the braid for trout and two nail knots for heavier fish.

If a loop system, on the end of a spey line, can turn over a 15' mono
leader and big fly, when cast into the wind, then the hinge theory is
truly BS. It does and it is.
