I was updating a new computer and was in the process of deleting old

Anyway, I do something similar with a steelhead rig box thingee. Do
any of you pre-tie two flies or droppers and if so, have you found a
good way to store them for the stream?


Padishar Creel -- whose eyesight continues to deteriate, damn near
lost my sight in my left eye this year...damn it, it is the ****s to
grow old


Well, look what the cat drug in and the dog wouldn't bury! How goes,
other than the eyes, of course. Fighting macular degeneration on my
own. Hope all goes well.
I do like droppers, but I don't pre-rig them. It would be nice, but
I've never found a way to carry them smartly in my vest.

Frank, it is good to hear from you! Things could be worse, I have
lost a lot of weight (32 lbs), and I have been exercising some. I
tore a retina and a skilled surgeon, who was about 19 years old I
would guess, tacked it back up and my vision is better than it was
when I went to the hospital. I still can't see well enough to tie
flies on while standing in a stream at dusk but other than that, I be
above ground.

I worked with a lad with macular degeneration and he had to have
magnifying glasses for everything and a giant and I mean giant monitor
on his computer. He did pretty well, and I hope you are doing well
too.


Doing well. I tie with reading glasses and a magnifier. I have dual,
22" monitors on my work station so I can read everything. I make do.
Does really suck at dusk, trying to tie on a fly. Thats why my only
evening fishing is for the Green Drake hatch. Hell, those are big
enough to feed the collective ROFF ego.
So, who's husband punched you in the eye? :-)
