looking at them similarly.

Before The Backwoods in Richardson closed a few years ago, The Roadkill
Roundtable tied there on Saturdays and the shop next door was The Bike Mart
and they had a poster in the window of a couple of guys in their gear on their
bikes and a couple of fly fishermen in their geer and everyone was scratching
their heads. The poster is still in the window of The Bike Mart. I guess it is
kind of the same feeling.

That part of Colorado around the Taylor River and The Gunnison has a special
place in my heart. Did you catch a few of those pretty cutthroat that grow in
some of the small streams around there?

The Roadkill Roundtable now meets on Saturdays in front of The White River Fly
Shop inside Bass Pro in Grapevine. If anyone is in the area tomorrow morning,
please bring your tools and join us to play for a while or just stop by and
shoot the ****. I suspect John and David will be tying flies for their upcoming
Colorado trip and Fred will be tying something he can use in Montana when he
goes there for the FFF Conclave in a couple of weeks. I think I will be
learning to tie Harry Steeves Firefly pattern as I have always wanted to tie it
and figure I can give the guys some they can leave in some brush somewhere in
The Rocky Mountain West.
