Has anyone here read Isaac Walton's book? If so, what is your opinion
of it? I found it online at
http://www.netlibrary.com

I would appreciate any comments you have.

That's absolutely amazing! I was astounded to learn their were knotz
specially formulated to fly-fishing!

I'm very interested in cat juggling. I sure hope someone post something
related to this exciting and low-tech form of entertainment.
