Oh, it's work-safe, but if you've recently eaten (like in the last 72
hours or so...), have a barf bag at the ready...

Ah, well, the US has Britney, and the UK has Amy...and say what you
will, but even at her worse, I'd take Brit over, um, the Brit.

About the only way it would _help_ is if you know a famous girl singer
headed toward being a junkie and need something to scare her straight,

I'm luckier than you. No one forces me to go to or to look at whatever it
is the above links might lead one to.

Well, howzabout some fly fishing stuff.

What do you fish when the water was low and clear and warming and you were
just about to get that secret fly combination that might get a fish and,
overnight, some lake ups the flow 300-400fps and clouds up everything and
you're left hanging without a clue? ("you" being, not so secretly, me)

waitaminutewaitaminute..... you just started a thread about nymphing
and never answered back. Now you're starting another thread, looking
for more secrets of the trade?

OH! ...you want me to regale you with tall tales of my dashing failure. OK,
I tried a single BH hot prince and single BH zebra with no luck and then
tried a wooley booger with no luck. I manage to tangle my line on my pole
at least one out of every 3-4 casts and snag a bush once every seven. On
the bright side, when it all comes together, I can get a #12 BWO straight
out about 20 yds and I got my leader/tippet tied correctly (blood knots at
2x, 4x, 5x) so it will lie down nicely when I don't hack the cast. My
mending skills are better than a push in the eye with a dry stick. I'm not
catching fish, yet, but the mechanics are improving steadily.

Happy? ;)

Are you using an indicator? If so, try to mend without moving the indicator.

Fish the current along a seam (the boundary between the faster current
and the slower water). The fish will be in the slower water, waiting for
something edible to pass by in the faster current. Also fish around
depressions in the stream bottom and around large rocks and in tailouts.

Of course. But not because of your reply.

It is good netiquette to say "thank you" when people help you out by
answering your questions. Hell, it's just plain politeness to say
"thank you" when someone helps you out.

Yeah, your welcome and I ain't holdin' my breath.

You from NJ?

Not at this point. but I can usually see the end of my green line.

Oh, I'm definitely fishing a seam. I have no waders and so my fishing range
is limited. But, I have a small beach right across from my place and a big
rock (car sized at river's edge) that breaks up the flow past the beach so
there's a seam about 5-10 yds out that is between sluggish and 5 ft deep
fast running. I fish it high, I fish it low. I fish it at the rock and
below (40 yds down). I fish it fast, I fish it slow. It's such a great
seam, I can pick just about any spot for any flow combo including drifting
an eddy back into the rock. Great mending practice, but no fish.

I'm not discouraged. I've seen and talked to people packing enough gear to
open an Orvis shop. I can watch 'em from my front window with my 10x50
Steiners, then mug 'em when they cross back over the access bridge. I've
talked to local guides scouting my section. None of 'em are catching much
of anything, right now.

Gee, I'm sorry, Dave.

But what? ...no thank-you for my conveniently affording you the opportunity
to reveal, once again, what a pompous ass you are? How impolite of you.
