Murdock, your strategic posts of trophy wife praise can’t hurt your cause either.

Done deal. I’ll shoot you an email. And will send along a couple of my vise mutants in return:

For the ling cod, have you tried a variant of the jiggy fly? Might work for your ling cod purposes:

Like what you all are doing with the saltwater stuff out there.

Dude. I’m ready for somebody to start a fly fishing blog fly exchange. I’ll send you some of these gratis, just to see how they work on stripers: http://oregonflyfishingblog.com/2009/01/04/barretts-prescription-for-blown-out-rivers-get-organized/

Been getting boozed up w/ some yak hair and senyo laser dubbing all winter. They don’t sink right for lingcod (my original intent). I need super sparse clousers for that. But they do suspend nice and I think they’d make a great striper pattern. I’m planning to try it on the stripers out here too, but it’s kind of a sasquatch hunt.

Simon, yeah, I check in on certain blogs every day to see what’s what and try to periodically hit all the sites listed in my links. I still read the dead tree, too, though, and since I work in (non-fly fishing) dead tree I have a vested interest in seeing it stick around for a while.

Mr. Esquandolas pretending to be my Mom, thusly is a nonstandard variant:

Are you calling me an uneducated person trying to be genteel?

The Urban fly fisher ran an article this week about the merits of fly fishing magazines and how after a month the articles enclosed inside these publications are often if not outdated and many articles are just repeats from previous years.Yes there are thousands of blogs & forums out there but for a fisherman being part of these communities keeps you up to date with all the latest fishing news,spots,techniques,tutorials……etc etc, which to me is far more benificial than any fishing magazine could ever offer. And yes every now and again someone out there suprises you with a gift or two.Blogs like this will always go from strength to strength….and they say Moms know everything!
