Oh, be sure to get sunglasses for the both of you and never cast
a fly line with a hook attached without wearing them.
Excellent advice, but be sure to get *polaroids*. You can see *into*
the water much better.


Umm... "polarized" me thinks.


Vince is showing his age.


I have so damn much of it, it's hard to conceal.

The first polarized sunglasses on
the mass market were called polaroids. So it's like calling
a copy machine the Xerox machine or paper tissue a Kleenex.


Yep, I do that too. But I don't refer to any camera as a "Kodak," as
many grownups did when I was a kid. I don't recall ever saying
"horseless carriage," either.
