My god the tears are flowing. You guys are somethin. I knew that would get some responses!! OK RG you can ride in the classic with me, working on a 12 volt coffee maker for it......
Have to tell you I took Tyler out for lakers yesterday.(I know no pics never happended)
But after searching for a couple hours I found them and started yankin in earnest.
Few minutes later hooked a good one and handed the pole to Ty. Was worth more than ten times what the boat cost to see his face when he pulled that short stout rod hard and the fish took it back to the water. He was still grinning this morning when he went to work.
Total of two caught, four hits.(yeah I missed two) But starting to get a little idea how to do this leadline thing.
One a little over 27" and 8lbs and a decent 24" around 5-6lbs. The fish in there are PHAT! LOL

5 bucks goes to SNAGGER HT, You havn't perfected the pinner JUST yet!!! Now on a serious note....... That little $5 bet on the donut thing Prchslyr.....hmmmmmm   Trapper or RG..... RG or Trapper....hmmmmmmm That might have to go both ways... They are the top two 'OLD FARTS WITH FLYRODS!!!!  Hey prchslyr!!

center pins  run mono ...were  talking flyline  ...i think we should  put HT and gamma  in the same boat and set back and watch ....gamma  will be  wrapped  up in line  with a hook  in his  ear  talking poop....HT  will see  his opening and  climb on gamma's  shoulders to get a better cast  ...they both fall  out of  boat  and  well be  the  search and  rescue  team  ......  i knew i shouldn't have gotten them  casting flies........  it use to be such a peaceful  sport .....  oh gamma  27  ....thats  right 27

....i'm up and truck is loaded...in search of the all elusive bluegill....i'm loaded with enough foam flies my flyvest can now be rated  by the USCG as a pfd ...i have nymphs  ...  extra leaders,tippet material ..almost forgot my  box of may flies!!!! every pocket is full and i have clippers,forecipps ,leader strightner,clipers,reading glasses all hanging off my vest....i have things i'll never use ...no idea why i have them other then i have places for them on this vest ....i have a knot tier ...what the heck is it? i don't know where i got it ,no idea how it works , and no idea who would want one .....but if you do ...it's in my vest top right pocket.... i justt feed the addiction ....all the gear and  hardwares only purpose is to keep me occupied  till  i can fish .....then i forget about leader strightners and knott tiers ..... all order is lost on the first rise..... the world  is swiped away  and replaced with rings on water and a bent rod.... life  is good!!!! have  great days guys 

[trapper2000]

hey i did  find  a hook  remover ...gamma  your going to need this!

[1fish@atime]

Man Trap, glad I never bought one of those vests. I would be panhandling on the streets....
I carry my hemostats for unhooking and tying a fly on, a few extra fies in a small plastic case and....that's about it.
Oops forgot, some line muclix and a bottle of silicone spray. Well then theres the head cement for any repairs, a couple indicators, tape measure....Man I'm gonna need a vest......and a rich uncle....

[prchslyr]

all the gear and  hardwares only purpose is to keep me occupied  till  i can fish .....then i forget about leader strightners and knott tiers ..... all order is lost on the first rise..... the world  is swiped away  and replaced with rings on water and a bent rod.... life  is good!!!! have  great days guys 

You don't have to be a fly guy to appreciate that one trap! One of the coolest quotes I have seen here.
