....cute as ever but they never get them wet....

I have a good friend who's a master at tying flies but they don't look anything as lifelike as that! Course, flies for fishing are a little bit less precious.

He says he has several types that are lifelike and productive, and in some of the photos you can see more traditional flies in cases; I think it's a matter of a fly-tying master gone a little wacky and creating a niche market in collectible lifelike insects. But as far as I'm concerned, the best part is the dragonfly page.

Yes, quite a little world *ha* he created, and the narrative is great. The pics are just stunning to me. I love macros, and also slow motion. Stuff where you really get to study in detail all the little nuances.

Oh my, that dragonfly page is terrific. Quite a drama unfolds with that orange dragonfly. You know how I feel about dragonflies.

(Thanks, HJ. I needed a bit of cheering today.)

I wish really bad that I was just finished fly fishing and I had about four fine looking trout and I was a little buzzed on Islay scotch and that I had a cigar that cost around five dollars, that would be a really good deal.

I've never been fly fishing. I wanna. I think I'd be good at it, as I'm a damn fine caster. I bet I could make that sucker hop.

But there are snakes in the creeks, so I'll stick to the sea.

That's why you carry a .22 revolver with snake loads, Jrossi, and wear boots. Don't let a few little ole snakes throw you off from fly fishing, it's worth it.

Both the mister and I fly fish (can't wait to go trout fishing later this year) and he ties flies. He'll enjoy the links. Thanks, Hugh!

We were salmon fishing last week. The mister caught a couple Springs, but I am, alas, still a salmon virgin.
