A TFO 3wt 6' would be the perfect X mas gift! You have started a lifelong addiction, I mean fascination , and she can share it with you. Nothing wrong with Girly Girl on the water. I think that would be the perfect handle for her on this forum.

I'll be there as well. Maybe early afternoon.

5F thanks for the post. All the usual suspects. I appreciate the time.

I'm going to Yellowstone in June to fish with a group of guys from another forum. On the way back home we plan on cutting through Idaho and fish Silver Creek, and then continue on to Bend through Boise. My question is this: Does anyone have the fly tying recipe for the Morris Silver Creek Special. I...

I was corresponding with the owner prior to his opening. He said they were putting up a brick and mortar/ online/ guide service/ lessons!!!! Kory is becoming a true California, giving up his eastern roots. I emailed him one day joking about him taking up surfing and he sent me back a photo of him on...

Thank you both... as always. This sounds like such a great adventure.

Rattling about in the grey of my mind is a memory of a train running along a river. Here fly fisherman can jump the train, both off and on, to fish. Where is this magical place?
