Before I went to the Keys with Bruiser, Willi, and Charlie, I bought a
used copy of Fishing the Flats on Amazon. It was signed by Kreh and Sosin.


Ooooooooh!!!

...I got Stephen King (who guest-taught an english class in college) to
autograph a first edition of Carrie.... I don't even want to think of what
that is worth now.


About $250 per credit* in the UW system.

Lefty Kreh is in the fly shop at Bass Pro Baltimore today. He's signing
books and just sitting down and chatting with folks.


Stan Gula had a good conversation with him, too, but it had nothing to do with
fly fishing and they weren't sitting down at the time, IIRC.

Did Lefty tell the story about the 3 foot tall pygmy killing the huge Rhino?

On knots: He no longer fishes the improved clinch to attach fly to tippet.
He has gone to the slip knot
http://www.graysofkilsyth.com/fishing.htm#Slip%20Knot 3 turns for 5 lb
test or over, 5 turns for under 5 lb test.


Looks a lot like a knot he recommends in the September 2004 issue of
Fly Fisherman mag, which arrived yesterday. There, he calls it the
"fisherman's knot" or "16-20" knot.

Good grief, is it September already? (I know mags are dated ahead,
but this is ridiculous!)
