The closest shop to me is about 25

Which direction?

I haven't been in a fly shop in a few years now. Of course, I'm not
fishing near as much as I used to either, but the annual trek to the
fly fishing show seems to keep me in supply.

B&G Sporting in Westfield.

Yeah, I quit going there at all. They don't even bother greeting customers
that come in.

Our annual trip to the show, plus a little mail order usually takes
care of my needs.
Have you been getting out at all?

Twice all year. It's a long, multi-layered story I'll bore you with when we
meet up.

The high water this year, plus a
couple of situations earlier in the season has limited my trips this
year as well.
Swift is still running at +/- 200 CFS, but with the new valve, most of
it is coming from the bottom, so the temp is under 60 deg, fishing is
slow.
All that said, I caught my best fish of the year, 21", on a streamer
near the "secret spot" on Monday.

Brown? 'Bow? Do tell.
