well, i was quite put out, but there is no question that the better
fisherman won, and it was nothing less than fascinating to watch the
snake take that fish up onto the sloping bank, and work it. i was
glad that the man with the little boy did not have his son avert his
eyes, rather they watched the action together. great stuff for a
kid, i think.
anyway, the star of the day was that awesome fish stealing snake.

..great story unbanded snake, just think, wasn't it just last spring
when you wanted to learn to flyfish? ;-)

yes, and i despaired of doing so. thank you frank- you have made my
fly fishing dream come true ;-), and given me something to enjoy my
whole life long.

I wanna know why Frank didn't send me one freakin' thing when I was
learning to fly fish. Maybe I need soliciting lessons. ;-)

maybe ya do, but hey, what about that snake. is that not too cool?
