the image of dan'l "eating his rod" is sufficient to turn an otherwise
dismal day into a time for endless chortles.

that getup is an exact replica of how bin laden would dress for a
flyfishing gala in the mountains of afghanistan.

thanks, willi.

That getup is as ugly as homemade sin, but it was as warm as a schoolmarm's
thigh. That morning (I think it was Tuesday) Willi and I started fishing at
8:30 and 18 degrees F. While stripping streamers we had to stop every
severalfew strips and clean the ice out of our hands and rod handle and the
guides on the rod. There was still ice in our line guides at 12:30 when we
quit for the day. But the wind wasn't blowing and the sun was shining and
the fish were cooperative so all was well. By the way, that's not my fly rod
I'm eating. That's the Jumbo New Mexico size Chap-Stick. I used about 2/3 of
that on Tuesday!
