Will, You need to get your post count up...anybody that can stay with Theo (I can't even come close) needs to share that talent with the rest of us.

Will, I mentioned I'd post a couple of links today. The first is a really good general information source. Lots of information....and forums where you can read and ask questions. The second is a similar link but has mostly Texas folks as members. I frequent both sites on occasion, and haven't been thrown out , yet http://www.flyanglersonline.com/ http://www.texasflyreport.com/default.asp

Harvey, I doubt seriously that Theo has ever had an opportunity to learn to swim. There's only about 2 weeks of summer and warm water. Add that to the fact that hot air rises; I expect he would float. A stiff breeze would move him to the shore.

A wealth of information from ya'll fellow Texans. I do find it rather ironic that warm water fishermen are the only ones giving fly fishing lessons. Is there no one from Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Ozarks? I dont know how we could get much better ideas, but maybe different techniques?

DD: Keep talking, I'm taking notes. Only 8 months until April 1, 2006. :p
BM: Those Northern tier folks are too busy enjoying their two weeks (or even less!) of Summer to post right now. Probably trying to learn to swim, at least the ones who don't float naturally.

Burgermeister, what techniques in particular would you like to know about cold water fly fishing? Ozarks, N. Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina mountain streams? How about Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and I’ll throw in Alaska to boot? Shoot your questions – I’ll respond – been there – done that…

Thanks for the offer of knowledge, experience, George. Just trying to see what kind of diversification we have on the Forum. I'm sure Theo hit it on the head. Enjoying the moment, while I'll inside trying to cope with the heat.{I DO work outside, too much). I havent done any fly fishing, but when a kid in Ms. for 'bream', and some in Valdez, Ak. Not really a salmon guy, though. Ya'll keep up the interesting posts.

BM, I agree diversity is interesting and it would be good to hear from the "Yankees" (term of endearment) but I liked George's idea of listing out the coverage...so on the southern end of things: In Mexico :Xcalak, Cancun, Cozumel, Campeche, Chetumal In Bahamas: Crooked Island, Exuma Island, Long Island In Belize: Ambergris Cay, Turneff Island On the Northern end, In Alaska: Prince of Whales Island, Homer, Glacier Bay, Moose River, Kodiac, Kenai River Other USA: Florida, Arkansas, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Missouri We got you covered. We both like to fly fish! p.s. its too hot to do anything today but play on the PC
