Hey, just a quick note on the fly rod adventure. Last Christmas the wife bought myself and my oldest son fly rods from Cabelas. We beat the water to death. Check your area for Orvis store. They have fly rods and casting ponds. Even if you dont by the rod there they will take you out and show you all of the cast. Well worth the time spent there. Plus great place to pick up leaders and how to tie the knots.

You got that right George. DIED gave me my first ever fly fishing lesson this year. I'd never even held a fly fishing combo before that. It's a completely different casting motion and speed. It's gonna take this old dog a while to learn that new trick. Course it would help if I had a longer attention span.

Oh by the way, why do I have to stop fishing with my Snoopy Combo rig????? It's the only pole I can get a decent cast out of, and come on with Snoopy how can ya go wrong???
