The basic necessities are (in my opinion).............


With those tools and some basic materials you can start tying your own.

I'd have to add hackle pliers to the list as well. Just sayin'.....they help keep things straight.
     One more with the one we're after and we'll have two.

Nice to see ya back!  The yellow jackets can kiss my #$%!  I never knew how someone could get "swarmed" until a couple mornings ago.  They had built a hidden nest outside a door to my house, saw a few, got stung on the eyebrow couple weeks ago,  but didn't think anything of it.  2 days ago 4am I get up & turn on the outside light, well they woke up started swarming the light.  I didn't notice until it was too late.  Apparently the warmth from the light got them fired up, i walk out & get stung at least 50 times in a few seconds.  They were all over me.  Tried to got back in, when i opened the door about a dozen came with me.  Wow that sucked & before my first cup of coffee.
I was berated for fishing & asked recently by a PETA type.  You don't keep fish do you?  I responded "No I don't like aquariums. I just treat them like a quick haircut, & take a little of the sides"

Welcome back Trap!
The flyrods have seen some solid use this summer. Lately I've been going deep in the pools with lead eyed muddlers and clousers. The bass and rockies love them.



We wish Mrs. Trapper a speedy recovery.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

Better read this first Spanky :w00t:

:rotflol: :rotflol: :rotflol:  I never seen or felt anything like it.  Itching, burning, & pain like nothing else.  Spent an hour in a cold shower & ate naproxen, motrin, & benedryl (?sp) like candy for 2 days. Still swollen bumps, some still tiny with a little stinger hole in the middle, others bigger because I had to pull out stinger parts with a knife & tweezers.  When it was going on the more I moved the worse they attacked me.
Just got out of Home Depot bought 1/2 dozen cans of killer spray, paybacks a b&*%$.  
Bait? Nah Fm can have that.

I think Lance is smarter than that, if not & he wants some bait I know just the place  :whistling: :whistling: :whistling:
There's even  room for stadium seating, forget the lawn chairs.
Pull the little ones out of the nest? really? 
I can only imagine the results if you tried.
