My favorite picture is the one of your boss pointing out the leaky window.

Very interesting, Zach, and well put (as always).

You guys may want to check with Hochatown ahead of time.

Trout Unlimited is holding it’s annual meeting at the Grand Traverse Resort in mid August and I was wondering whether I should bring along my carp rod and flies.

I have a wide variety of Simms boots in different styles and with different soles.

I understand they’re considering a new safety regulation for those bass tournaments.

[mick mccorcle]

I have several light rods and have experimented with several brands and models of smaller reels.

So Zach is certified and most of the rest of us are certifiable. 😉

For smaller Clousers, I love to use Arctic Fox.

They’re now running all eight flood gates six inches open.

No recent info, but I’d strongly recommend reading the book Gila Descending: A Southwestern Journey by M.H. Salmon if you can find a copy.

If you’re still set on trying a spring creek, read these three books before you go:

John Shewey’s Mastering Spring Creeks: A Fly Angler’s Guide

Mike Lawson’s Spring Creeks

Nick Lyons’s Spring Creek

As a Nikon User, I’ve been quite pleased with Nikon Transfer, View NX and Capture NX, and plan soon to upgrade to the newest versions.  For post processing, I will sometimes switch over into Photoshop.

I thought the only demi god around was Zach.

From a business point of view, making fly lines is very capital intensive.

[mick mccorcle]

We seem to be wandering off track a bit, but in mid range zooms, I started with the Nikon 35-70/2.8, added a 17-55 when I went digital, picked up a 28-70 (aka, the Beast) that I couldn’t pass up, and now use the 24-70 almost exclusively.  While I got some good shots with the 17-55, I like the image quality of the 28-70 better, and think I will like the 24-70 best of all.

That said, I think Buzz’s advice is right on.

[mick mccorcle]

I’d encourage you to tie a range of flies that simulate various “tree droppings.”

[mick mccorcle]

Yes, Allan, it is osteosarcoma.

[mick mccorcle]

Dogs and cancer are a tough combination.

I’ll second the praise for the DS2 and agree with you that if nothing else, it makes a great backup rod.
