You probably are correct. *It was bad judgment on my part to argue
with them -- rise to the bait, so to speak.

oh, by the way, you might want to take a look at swisher's and
richards' "no hackles" and/or some old classic flies (wet or
dry).....the kind made with paired duck quill wings.....for some ideas
relevant to your quest.

I love them. *They are about 85% of what I was looking
for. *I will be spending a lot of time of that site staring.

I did notice on his flies page, he give a black and white
picture of a Baetis spinner. *So, he is actually trying
to match the little buggers.

Do you mean the figure at top left? snort chortle That is a drawing
of the actual spinner, NOT one that he has tied. *What a maroon.

My sides are hurting .........

"Hurting" like REALLY bad?.......or just hurting like "Yeah, I'm still
an idiot who STILL thinks education is a joke."?

I don't think education is a joke. *Afterall, I am married to a lovely
woman with a PhD in physics. *Not all people need or even should go to
college, Wolfgang. *Both of my children are college educated. *Joanne
and I have helped a neice get her Associate Degree. *Education is
important for some people. *I have two very successful sons-in-law; one
with a college degree, and one without. *Both are equally successful. *
A formal education is not always the answer. *I'll take a man with a
work ethic and drive to succeed over one that went to college to
"succeed".
