my estranged father has recently made a reappearance in my life. he
seems tickled to death that i fish, as he spins. while talking on the
phone the other night, he said that if we are going to be doing any
fishing together he might as well get some fly fishing gear. he likes to
fish for trout, but greatly enjoys fishing for walleye, pike and the
like. he is coming for a visit over christmas and wants to pick up some
stuff while he's here. what do ya'll suggest? any help will be
appreciated-

Good luck patching up the relationship with your dad.

As far a gear goes, a quick stop at WalMart would set him up for under
$100, including the license, assuming that you have the flies.

have i got the flies- by the **** load! between flies i have bought, flies
that frank senior gave me, flies big dale sent me and flies i got for
christmas, i have a stash to impress anyone. but as mark b. pointed out- i
probably will use a few favorites for the most part, and that has held true,
indeed. still, they *are* fun to look at, and lust over.......
