against the improved clinch, each time, the clinch broke, but not the slip.


Lefty loves those new knots. They sell books. :-)

On young women in red cars: Dangerous, they'll run you over.


But you'll die happy. :-)

On the "Kreh Number": He'd never heard of it, and thought it was rather
funny.


Funny like stupid, or funny like funny?

We are fast approaching a time where we won't have the innovative likes of
Kreh, Clouser, Wulff, Bruce and the rest. I hope someone's taking notes and
getting all this info down.


We have more innovation in flyfishing now than we have ever had, but
with decreasing returns.
