    Jay – since I grew up in northern MN, I really shouldn’t have been so surprised.

    I’ve got two, and I honestly don’t remember the brands.

    I had two basal cell areas cut off of my right ear this summer, and I’m in my mid 30’s as well.

    I agree that the LAW is as good as it gets, but I think your sister-in-law would be hard pressed to get one before Christmas.

    Orvis is the Microsoft of fly fishing.

    Now that one I have to take offense to.

    LAW vise = $”Scary Plus”

    The Snowbee-Waldron that I think Ron Eagle Elk uses is a slightly cheaper vise designed by the same guy, might be worth checking out.

    What the hell, man?

    Best interview question in a podcast.  Ever.

    This is another one of your podcasts that I initially figured I’d have zero interest in, but got into quickly.  Fantastic selection of guest, as well as engaging dialogue and interesting questions.

    I’m guessing that the tight-lippedness means that Zach got a sweet deal on a LAW, right?

    I’ve liked the St. Croix Avids that I have tried, but I’ve also heard very good things about the Cortland 8′ 4wt Brook series and the new St. Croix Imperials.

    Oh, I’d be interested, but a lil’ bird told me that Santa decided it’s a Dyna-king Christmas. Probably need to hold off on the big purchases for a bit. Thanks for thinking of me tho.

    I’m somewhat sad that I’ve only done a few of the options you listed.

    Rich I hope you’re wrong.  This coming year I had my eye on a G2 4wt and I’ve also been looking at their S4’s.

    Not good to hear.

    However, I look at their site and everything works fine for me.

    Abe –

    How far along are you in the 50 fish quest?  Look me up when you get to Kansas, and I’ll do my best to get you a big fat carp!

    Here’s a father and son doing it all in one summer, looking for trophy fish in each state.  http://fish5050.com/index.html

    A friend is guiding them for wipers and walleye when they get here.

    I’m off to a pretty slow start.

    According to my brother, this is the appropriate fly for trout that won’t bite:

    Amazing that he hasn’t been tying in prison yet…

    Abe,
    I don’t know if you make it to Vegas often, never been myself.  I was told at Lee’s Ferry on the Colorado that they get alot of people of Vegas fishing there.  I think it is a couple of hours away.  
    Hows the striper fishing coming along?
    Best,
    John

    John-

    Lee’s Ferry is one of the places I’d like to fish before I die, but it wasn’t to be on this trip.
