Nothing that I'm interested in making but you certainly do nice work and that's what's important. I like the magnetic catch. [big grin] [big grin]
Thanks for posting, it adds another layer of depth to the FOG.
Interestingly enough, we (as in my wife and the 2 British cream retrievers) stopped at Orvis this weekend and I was aghast at the prices of fly fishing equipment. A fly rod for $2500 and a fly reel for $700, well that certainly put those items out of my orbit.
Still, the fun with fly fishing for me has always been the solitude. You're on your own...for hours and you are connecting...me lickee.
