Comments on: It might’ve been called the Day of Best Intentions http://singlebarbed.com/2009/12/31/it-mightve-been-called-the-day-of-best-intentions/ Fly fishing and fly tying for anything that bites Sun, 12 Feb 2012 03:38:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Greg http://singlebarbed.com/2009/12/31/it-mightve-been-called-the-day-of-best-intentions/comment-page-1/#comment-5260 Greg Sat, 02 Jan 2010 15:45:09 +0000 http://singlebarbed.com/?p=5062#comment-5260 4: I'm not so young, but I'm new to the sport and you're doing a great job passing on your wisdom (and if I had tied more than 5 flies so far and knew what to do with your dubbing material, I know you'd be generous to pass on some of them, too). Thanks for your entertaining and informative writing and for helping keep me excited about fly fishing even when I'm stuck at my desk or it's 12 degrees with the windchill and 35 mph gusts that would wreak havoc upon my novice casting. Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2010! 4: I’m not so young, but I’m new to the sport and you’re doing a great job passing on your wisdom (and if I had tied more than 5 flies so far and knew what to do with your dubbing material, I know you’d be generous to pass on some of them, too).

Hell, they're often teaching me more than I could think of teaching most of them. I wish that most could understand about rock music. I understand about stuff. I resolve not to obsess about finding right Striper rod. And, I resolve not to compulsively tie even more Parachute Adams and Ausable Wolfs. Not to mention Ray's Fly, September Night and Day, etc, etc, etc. Oh, Yeah. I resolve to read Shakespeare more often. Thanks for reminding me! Share with the “young guns”?

My grandfather just recently has given me his old fly tying kit, some rods and reals and his bird hunting gun. I'm of course grateful and I'm pretty excited to try out this stuff that always worked so well for him. I'll be lucky if someday I'm even half the sportsman he was.
