The Lonestar is no problem...you couldn't pay me to drink that stuff, but I
doubt the BBQ would survive the 3 day trip to Montana.

The Lonestar would be a nice touch even without BBQ. :-)

On the subject of beer, I saw a fishing show a few months ago and they were in
a beer bar in Jackson. Next time uyou are there please sample the Zonker Stout
Ale for me. What a cool name. I wonder if a variation of the Klod Hopper tied
with psychedelic spider foam will work during the clave?

Yeah, I have had that before. Not a bad beer. They also make Bitch
Creek too. I'll bring you a sample of TroutSlayer, Bitch Creek,
Zonker and whatever else is in that line. I seem to recall one or
two other "fishy" kind of beers.

As far as hoppers go, I plan on using that foam for several hopper
and beetle patterns. For the beetles, I plan on using a peacock
body and pulling the foam over the top. I doubt the fish will
notice the cool foam, but it sure will be a hell of a lot easier for
me to see!
