You may want to avoid buying used bicycle seats on eBay for a while.

Charlie for a young man your age you sure do have a dirty mind.--hope you
are doing well---went out in my neighbors Regulator yesterday [ don't know
how long but it is set up for fly fishing] thought we were going to play
around behind Figure Eight Island but water was so flat he took off for a
rocky bottom in ocean five miles out. It was 50 food deep and he said it was
the old coastline so we used his salt water spinning gear begin catching
lots of sea bass about two pounds I guess.
We saw one school of albie raise and I was dreading cleaning the bass
so I just fooled around with a clouser on a 8wt flyrod. Nothing--added a
little weight and let it sink and hooked a 30 inch sandshark---- just like
the movies !!!! it jumped-ran off etc--Harold had a floro carbon leader on
the line but after a few minutes we got him close and when he saw boat he
broke off.
Not too good at cleaning fish but Dene and I enjoyed our sea bass chunks
sautéed in olive oil and lemon this evening.
Another hard day in the life of a retiree in old carolina --damm it was
warm today somewhere around 75 I guess

Sounds like a time all right, Joe. I had a lemon shark on a fly
earlier this year while I was wading in the Keys and it broke off when
I got it close too (which was exactly what I wanted g). Going back
the week before Xmas and try my luck wading the flats again.

So, the materials list for this fly includes neoprene, fiberglass and foam?

Interesting photo. Copyrighted, too, I see. Was that used with prior
permission?

I was actually giving rw points for leaving the copyright info intact. Most
versions I've seen have that cropped or edited off, including the photo on
the Urban Legends reference page (http://www.snopes.com/photos/surfer.asp).

Consensus seems to be it was a bottlenose dolphin, though the logic on the
UL page is a bit short of conclusive.

Giving points is nice, but Wolfie's insinuation is correct. Including the
copyright isn't enough, even if the picture is posted on other sites (its
probably posted there illegally.) You need explicit permission from the
copyright holder to use the image, or even to link to it on another (even
illegal) site. Here is a readable site about copyright law:
http://www.education-world.com/a_curr/curr280a.shtml.

Since the photographer is selling copies of the image, my guess is that he
wouldn't give permission for it to be used on rw's webpage. I'm not gonna
tell or anything g, but your response showed a common misconception about
copyright law.
