Morning catch up (barely but still morning here):

Really weird ones.. I used to have nightmares but lately theyve just been disturbing.

I almost think the disturbing ones are worse than the nightmares. Hope your dreams are sweeter tonight!

Busy weekend. Did our show yesterday and taught around 65 kids to tie their first trout fly. It was a great day with warm bright weather and temp around 70; hard work though. Today I have. 6 or 7 hour drive to visit my kids for their birthdays over the next few days so might not be on here much until I am back.

Take care everyone
G

Enjoy the birthdays! And thank you for all you give back!

there is an endgame

Thinking of you, Wat. Sounds like you have a good handle on things, but somewhat bittersweet as well. Be kind to yourself during the wrap up.

The cats didn't say anything

Cats are more ninja than security guard. If there was an egregious breach of protocol there would be noise. Caterwauling is used very judiciously.

I am. I do. We are.


Thank you for the bestest wishes. I appreciate it/them.

Have been a fly fisherman my whole life…I hate to admit this…I’ve never tied a a fly! . It’s been on the to-do list for the last 45 yrs!

Thanks for giving back to the community. You never know what kid you’ll reach and how it will and can make a difference. Maybe you can teach this kid how to do it?

Would love to help teach you. Our club is on Facebook if you are interested but private group and we strongly vet applicants to protect our members particularly kids. DM if you want details I can point you to some great tyers on YouTube too.

Yesterday's final total was 61 kids taught and 9 adults! Our best ever score.

Just came to after a bit. Cats are still at it. Clothes are in the dryer. May go back to Wally's because I left my list at home and forgot a couple of things. Meh, it happens. May put it off.

Thanks for all your positive replies about my recent posts.

I was fortunate having a father and grandfather who were contrymen. They could shoot, trap, fish and taught me this and about the birds and mammals, their songs and signs. Many of this generation have no such mentors without which that knowledge and love of the outdoors, in an increasingly urban population, is lost.

I am a self taught fly tyer for over 50 years. I learned from books with black and white diagrams or a written description. This generation is spoiled by You Tube but you have to sow the seed first and sometimes it germinates; I just try to sow seeds.

Love this thread. It's my safe space in Forum.

Thank you all for refraining from hating me before getting to know me.

We have seen that, hating one before even knowing him/her.

I was watching a BBC cooking show and the chef went to Scotland in October to catch a salmon. She was fly fishing and her instructor said "that was terrible".....she didn't catch a fish....hahahahaha..she was a good sport about it

The good ones make dry fly fishing look effortless. I took a two day class once and it is harder than it looks

20 years - you have been most fortunate. You can count on the new one you are about to buy to last half as long :-(

Is it an a/c unit or a heat pump?

They outlawed freon. If you can find it very expensive.
