Now, those of us who are seasoned three-night-campout backwoodsmen know that
Cotton Kills!

Cotton is great for a night at the Millheim, but gimme
Capilene/Polartec/Synchilla anytime when it comes to being outside for
extended periods, especially when there is any chance the weather could go
all Penns on ya.


Okay Bill, what are you trying to infer about my favorite cup of mocha..
uh, I mean my favorite fly fishing waters? Get to the point, man!

It couldn't possibly have been your fault.


No. I don't write this stuff. As a matter of fact I don't have
anything whatsoever to do with its production. The spellchecker
writes it and then checks it or whatever and then sends it off to you.
I just get a royalty for the use of my name.

No way.


Yeah, that's what I said.

It must have been
your nondeterministic spell checker.


Yeah, that's what I said.

Hey, what the hell, I don't write it and you don't read it.......what
could be more equitable?

Wolfgang
in utter defiance of logic, expectations and a boatload of natural
laws, the boy just keeps on getting dumber and dumber.

I no longer use floatant at all, I use Frog Fanny and an Amadou.
I'm still using the Frog Fanny I bought two years ago but I'm
down to my last Amadou. I've not been able to find genuine Amadou
here in the states. The fly shops sell a synthetic version called
Samadou that doesn't work nearly as well.


Me too. The local fly shops still have amadou in stock, but I find
myself carrying only one piece of it. After a couple of hours of good
catching, the amadou is pretty soaked and I usually resort to using my
shirttail.



Although they're great for other things, that's the big disadvantage of
nylon and other synthetics. They also do a bad job of cleaning your
sunglasses.

Charlie, who stocks the Amadou locally?
