That would have worked a lot better if Steve had said "I don't like

fishing
with Fortenberry". (= Agent wants to spell that "Whortleberry". wtf? ;-)


So I'm better at numbers than comedy, sue me.

Fwiw, the truth is he's as entertaining to fish with as anyone with whom

I've
had the pleasure...


Agreed

(...and that includes flatlanders who think the Davidson River is
worth more than a ten minute drive ;-)


Bite me

Sheesh, I bet you guys fish with flies made out of foam too

Better than the testicle hair of a goat.

What's it about you western folks that want "quiet" reels?


It has nothing to do with "western" or "eastern." It's all about
personal preference. I could care less what kind of reel you use, or
even if you use a bamboo rod.

My mother, who is 77, had a hip replacement in the spring
and is getting a knee makeover in the fall. You're in the
business so you probably know this, but there is a new
and much less invasive & debilitating knee replacement
procedure being done that spares most of the muscle and
has people up and about much quicker.

Hmmm. Too late now but what might that be?
The wife had a new knee put in a week ago Tuesday and the doc said it
was basically the same as the other knee he did for her in '96. I had
hoped he might offer up some advanced hardware but only the surgical
procedures seemed to have changed - smaller incision, something he
called "bloodless surgery". Still had to cut away some muscle to fit
everything in - but she is recovering faster than the last time.

What other sort of knee replacement could have been done?

Some of us easterners are like that too. I take off
the noisemaker part as soon as I get a new reel.



Ignorant question time.

How do you do that? I hate the reel noise. I've got the reels that
came with the KPOS package deal and I'd much rather have quiet time on
the water. Or at least hear only the stream and the wind and my own
singing.
