[cool][#0000ff]to sample Z on a few, if he ever decides to go fishing again.[/#0000ff] [/reply]
I'm goin' out tomorrow. I have some time off this week (6 days in fact) and I intend to fish like a crazy man. (Already part way there with the crazy, so all I have to add is the fishin'.)
Trouble is, I've acquired a new, er, "hobby," at least until the cool weather returns. I've been carp fishing with flies. I've managed to get a few nice ones on the bug rod and it is down right addictive. They're hard to hook on flies but once you get one you quickly get to see your flyline backing as the fish heads for the far side of the lake and leaves your reel smoking. I release most of my fish anyway and these fish really put a pull on the old graphite sticks. I've seen them to about 20 pounds in the places I fish. I know I've slipped over to the dark side and I feel just a little bit funny about bringing it up here - but hey, you only go around once and I'm comfortable enough in my skin.
Now if I can just figure out how to incorporate my tubin' into the equation...
