Just wondering if anybody is still tying, maybe you're all out
fishing?

Hope so.

Chas
remove fly fish to e mail directly

I've been tyin' up hideously ugly damsel/dragon fly patterns (palmer
hackle around the body) for our small trout (12 to 18 inchers), and
they
are working pretty dang well!

i knew you had delusions of grandeur...but calling a 12-18" NC trout
"small" is damning evidence of a serious psychosis!! g unless you're
fishing in trout-pellet enriched club waters for zoo trout, a NC wild
trout in that range is spectacular. good work mark... hope to see you
and
some of those small trout in sept.

Um, actually I was referrin' to our trout being small in relation to what
Chas is used to catchin' up in the great white North. I believe I remember
that he lives in Alaska or some such heavenly location.

Of course, I suffer from pyschotic delusions, but it has nothing to do
with
my fishin'! You of all ROFFians should know that.

Pencil in Labor Day for a campin' excursion from the Greentown Trail to
the
Falls. You'll enjoy my latest fishin' buddy, Mr. John Smith. He is a very
fine young man and a God to me. He is 37 and married a most beautiful 23
year old woman--with money!

I suppose from NC it might seem like Alaska, but I'm near Seattle.
Currently
tying flies for pink salmon and king salmon. Andy caught a 23 pound king
yesterday. I haven't landed one since July.


Chas

Okay, you're my new God, a 23 year-old woman can hardly compare to a 23 lb.
King Salmon :~^ )

Well, you may not be able to see Russia from your house, but it's still a
very heavenly location, or so I've seen at night from behind the windscreen
of a big truck in very snowy and icy conditions comin' over some scarey as
hell mountains!

Oh yeah, if I were you, I'd sue the Parks Service for allowin' ya to leave
your rod behind, after a good fay of fishin'!

Take care, and if ya ever make it out this away--give me a holler!
