I've seen Frank weight a hook. Just make sure you can lift it when
you're done.

and, bring a wheelbarrow to carry a batch of his stoneflies
to the stream!

I tie ONE fly for specific, high-water conditions and all I do is catch
grief for it. By the way, it worked like a charm so I guess you all
are just jealous. :-)
