always like to check out the fly-set on the rainbows after I bring them
in and it gives me great pleasure when they're near perfect sets. After
my catch, I packed up, brought out the folding chair, popped the last of
the beer that had been kept cold from the riverwater attached to the
bottom of our boat. My friend looked at me as if he wanted to say
something, but before he did, I told him I was done for day without ever
glancing up. I think he understood.

Nice discription Tom. Good read.
What is a "perfect set?"

Well gosh Willi, after reading your other post in; in defense of Tim,
I'm thinking perhaps there are no perfect sets.

Since reading your posts, I've learned about lactic acid the rainbows
produced, and playing fish in general, things I didn't know before, but
enjoy doing research on. I think Wolfgang once said in a post, when a
person doesn't know or understand, "educate them"
You do a fine job of that, I enjoy your contributions to the newsgroup.
