What's your "Kreh Factor?" Fishing, mine is a two (I've fished with
someone that has fished with Lefty). On fly tying, mine is a one (I've
tied with Lefty).

Well screw Kreh, many years ago at a FF@ gathering in a MO state park I shared a BBQ
and picnic table with Dave Whitlock and his lovely wife. He was my hero then, me
having just discovered flyfishing for bass and he had authored a book on that
subject and invented some neat bass flies. I believe he still was connected to LL
Bean then. In any event he was a down home guy and I enjoyed his company. His wife
was easy on the eyes as well. I give me a Whitlock factor of 1.
