My box of gurglers arrived by my friendly flyfishing postman a few minutes ago.
Thanks to all who participated and a special thanks to Stan for hosting the
event. BTW Stan, I like the variety of tailing materials you used. Now if it
ever quits raining I will start decorating trees and catching fish with them.

My pleasure, really, The tying is fun, and the flies from youse guys is
more fun. I especially liked the gurgler on a safety pin. That went right
on my hat.

Well, I had glued the green and orange sheets together and was trying to
figure how to tie three flies that would look different. One orange side
up, one green side up, and then what! Tails, my brain says, use different
tails!

If you fish the big gray Gurgle Bugger, let me know how it works. I was
trying to come up with something for bigger bass so I put a gurgler back on
an unweighted wooly bugger. My guess is it won't float upright because of
the heavy hackle - so I suggested to Tim that maybe he wants to trim the
bottom a bit. I have a couple that I'm going to try out on Monday.

So are y'all starting to grow gills up there too? It was the
second-rainiest June in recorded history down here. It's probably a
good thing in the bigger picture, but it sure does cut into your
fishing when your favorite river is in a semi-constant floodstage.

Our June avarage is about 3.3 inches. This year it was 14.6 at my house. Six
Flags Over Texas in Arlington is re-opening today after being closed the past
two days due to the floods. This is the first time that has happened since the
park opened back in the 60's. My favorite brim bed at Dale's point has had so
much water the weeds have grown in so much this year they moved the bed. And
the weather liars say it won't rain again till this morning. I am like you...I
am tired of the damn rain.

Too bad, Larry - you would have liked this one.

There are about a dozen different flies, many from BD. I'll gladly volunteer for
picture taking duty if Stan wants to post them. It seems as though ol' Stan may
have a little less free time on his hands now. . . :( or :) depending on the
viewpoint of whether you think regular employment is good or sucks. ;-)

Cars were floating in a parking lot at TCU, and some in our neighborhood
have needed to sandbag...and yep, apparently there's more coming.
