They are neat John. All I could picture in my mind was the picture you get at every campgroung of the bison throwing the guy with the camera up into the air. In my mind it was me with a flyrod.
I am going to wrap this up with something that is near and dear to my heart. Try if you find time to get involved in some kind of program. Tie some flys or help. There is project healing waters, casting for a cure and what moved Pat casting for recovery. If Pat can get off in October for the Missouri retreat we will help. If any of these programs help anyone attending like it did Pat it has done it's job. It may be a way to get your spouse involved in in your flyfishing habit. Warning it may cost you double which may cut into your fishing allowence. Some of you might not need your wife cutting into your time but my wife is my best friend and the fringe benifits aren't bad either:) A couple more parting photos,

Some of the flies I tied for this years retreat and I am so sick of pink and purple

When you are home and so far from trout waters you have to do what you have to do and flyfish for koi.
