Man, you got a wealthy bunch of presents!

I got a DVD on the Henry’s Fork and the Gmundner Traun (Austrian river)

Santa was very, very good to me also…

6 pairs of heavy wool socks

Wind stopper fleece jacket

Sage wind stopper fleece fold over mitts

Sage small back pack

Small Kodak camera for my vest. I love this…about the size of a deck of cards, takes great pictures and very simple to use. I now need to come up with a waterproof case.

Cameron, I got the Benchside Reference a few years ago for my B-day and use it all the time. I treasure and protect it like gold…no bathroom magazine rack for that one 🙂 Enjoy

ibookje…the wife and mother-in-law get a little crazy at Christmas…and I end up with some pretty sweet gifts.

My family did me right as well:

Patagonia Great Divider bag
C&F Fly Box
Orvis Stripping Basket
Gift certificate to my local shop, using it for a Lamson Litespeed 3.0 reel for light saltwater

We are all lucky to have such generous friends and family . . .

Nice Mike, lets see some more pictures.

This Ken Abrames book “A Perfect Fish, Illusions in Fly Tying” is excellent.

Billy B,

Are you ever right about the good fortune of having such generous family and friends. I just hope the people I love think the same of me.

I received a St. Croix surf rod–big honkin’ stick–10’6″ 9 wt
Battery for a camera I had traded for (with John Pavoncello from the board) back in the Fall
Domke Bag for the camera and few lenses I have
Gift certificate to a local shop
Smart Wool running and hiking socks
Fun stocking stuffer things

I didn’t chime in on the Merry Christmas thread, but I do hope that each and every one of you had a very Merry Christmas. It is a pleasure sharing information and ideas with each of you. Still, one of the coolest things about the internet is the amalgam of personalities it unites thanks to some common thread–like fly fishing.

Sincerely,

Bryan

By the way, cool new sled, Mike.

Mike,

That’s a river boat. Very nice. Been thinking about getting something this year I could take on the river and the lake I may be living on soon. Looks like a badarse sled. Congrats man.

Thanks I’m loving it right now man. I really have nothing but great things to say about Supreme boats so far. It’ll float fully loaded with three people in it, in 2″, and run in anything over 3″. That doesn’t do you much good when there’s waders everywhere but I fish alot of places where that isn’t a big problem. We hit a gravel bar for the first time last Sat. The boat never stopped, it just slid past it. We went back to see how deep it was and the water wasn’t even over the top of my wading boots. No damage whatsoever to anything on the boat or motor except a little paint missing off the intake grate.

There might be alot of people who’ll try to convince you not to buy a jet because of all the negative characteristics. If you plan to operate a boat in water less then 8″ alot…..Don’t listen to them. I ran props motors for a long time and I’ll tell you this, you can have em.

[Zach Matthews]

So, Mike, is that Supreme what you’d call a jet sled?

[Phil Landry]

Mike-

[Cameron Mortenson]

MikeA…that is a damn good looking boat.  

Zach…whatever you do…don’t wear the PINK SHIRT with the lanyard…at least don’t take any photos if you do!  That would get a few on some of the other boards buzzing and hate’in on you all over again…ha.

Siilver Doc…you must have been a REALLY good this year!

[Mike Fielder]

The best Christmas gift of all was seeing Christmas threw my Son’s eyes.

1- Watching my two girls in wonderment that “Santa” had come & left goodies (priceless!)

2 – Dec Hogan’s ” A Passion for Steelhead”
3 – Sage Xi2 1090-4

[Billy Belsom]

SMR, I have 10-wt. envy now.

SMR, I have 10-wt. envy now.  That is maybe the best rod in the Xi2 lineup.
