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!!!

and thanks for sharing.

And thank you for adding your always valuable commentary. When I
run out of toilet paper, prints of your posts come in *extremely*
useful!

against the improved clinch, each time, the clinch broke, but not the slip.

Lefty loves those new knots. They sell books. :-)

On young women in red cars: Dangerous, they'll run you over.

But you'll die happy. :-)

On the "Kreh Number": He'd never heard of it, and thought it was rather
funny.

Funny like stupid, or funny like funny?

We are fast approaching a time where we won't have the innovative likes of
Kreh, Clouser, Wulff, Bruce and the rest. I hope someone's taking notes and
getting all this info down.

We have more innovation in flyfishing now than we have ever had, but
with decreasing returns.

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?

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!)
