Bingo on that one!

I look at the two handers that are starting to come out and I just scratch my head!

Your replies are terrific! I;m going to have to print them out and re read them. You're definately right about experience. Ultimately, there's no bookin' or talkin' that can teach the same things that experience can. It's taken me years to learn how to stay in touch with a fly on a dead drift at night with no moon, feel a subtle take. Sometimes it's just a slight change in the tension on the line.

Just think, get to do it all over again!

Do I get the sense that you like needles?
