Well it's about time....I thought the little guy was due first of the
month.........CONGRADS my friend........How about some details ie
weight...
length....bootfoot wader size......right or left hand retrieve on the
reel.....nymph fisherman or dryflyer..........

He was 7 lbs, 9 oz, 19.5" long. He has been a total champ; the first
couple
nights home have been surprisingly smooth and he's just been an incredibly
beautiful addition to the family.

I'm thinking about sending him off to University though so he can refine
his
tastes a bit in time for Christmas. Maybe have Mike M. run a nymph class,
Tom L. run a wet fly class, Peter C. conduct the streamer lectures, Frank
R.
teach the gear class, etc.

Congrats from this continent, also. I can see you glowing all the way to
Africa :-)

Not to steal your thread, but you just had a GREAT idea for a clave!! Why
not have a ROFF U clave, where we get the best roffians in several
departments (nymphing, dries, streamers, gear, tying, etc,etc) and have a
4-day clave where each one does some sort of 'formal' instruction. We can
even print up some cool diplomas grin.
