Thanks Trap,just like Trapper said roll casting is very easy once you learn how to do it. It took me a couple days to get it under my belt but now it's second nature to me!!!!!--- KP Jr.

He..He....He!

Enabling another fly fishing addict Next we'll have him tying flies Trap.

Last evening on the way home from my golf league, I saw a couple of flocks of geese feeding along a grassy part of the canal near my home. I immediately made a right turn to park and scouted 3/4 mile of grass for feathers. In particular, flight feathers. Need some biots.

I constantly scout road kill deer for signs of a fresh carcass to collect from. Nothing is safe from the seriously addicted fly tyer...the dog...the neighbor's cat.........OYE!

Sorry,
I draw the line at large rodents I used to plink them at long distance, but that's been a while.

Read "Rubber Legs and White Tail Hairs", Pat McManus It explains the fly tying addiction in terms we can all understand.

Splashed the new craft yesterday for a short time. Needed to make some adjustments...seat position, oar stops etc. Also worked out the transport method. Picked up the "emergency " items yesterday...spare latch pin, a couple of bolts and a quick link for the anchor to make it easier to detach for transport. Still need to get a rod holder I can live with. Don't like the one that came with the toon.

It's a process for me...I need to work out the details. So far I'm very happy. It's a well built, durable piece of equipment.
