Woo Woo! Its the Dog Days of Winter and I got a good case of flies in the
mail. Along with a rude cartoon supposedly depicting my chosen profession
in a less than wonderful light and, last but not least, a special set of
Australian marital aides. Cool beans! Thanks Tim. I'll put the Aussie
Ticklers to good use. Great day in the Reid household 'cause my wife's
final Xmas present (a 90 minute video of the "Best of Bobby Orr") also
arrived from Canuckistan. Will discuss more on the flies when I find my
glasses that are around here someplace.

I received my flies yesterday but am just now having the time to look them
over. I know just the lake for that crawdad pattern, and I'm thinking a few
others will work at specific places. I'm also seeing some ideas for tying
in ways that I've not tried. The egg sack that Svend put on over a small
piece of floss looks great. The Brown trout weamer is calling some big
browns in Eastern Oregon. There is a reminder that I need to get some
starling, experiment with that darn hare foot I bought, wishing I had such
fine red wire as on the lightening bug, and some chartreuse ultra chenille,
wondering if Chris' fly would pull a shad as well as trout?

The business card by Big Dale takes the best label award, and the ant will
scare something up. Somehow Mr. Weall knew on the Deschutes many say any
color will work, as long as it is purple or black. I think the marmot
purple bugger would work well on Davis lake. I don't know but Eddies Crow
looks like a sea run cutt might be tempted with a twitch and strip there.
Both the Twisted hackle and the super pupa call out for some frogs fanny
next summer, and that green weenie should pull out something from a Central
Oregon stream.

I have many plans to make to put these flies to work.
