Bob, that sounds great! I appreciate any PFD's for the boat at this point. I am headed to the Yakima this weekend for a bit of fishing, and I am really looking forward to PHW 2 fly event the next weekend!
Just got back from Mexico last night. I saw a message from my wife that you had called. I use SC-15 hooks in sizes 2, 4, 6, and 8 depending on what I have. My original fly was tied on 2's.
Haven't been on a for a while so thought it would be good to check things out. I got ahold of one of Grandpa's old fly rod's. It is a Genuine Tonkin Cane rod, according to what I've read it was made/sold around 1945-50. The rod came with a reel without any markings so am unsure if it is one that came with the rod or purchased seperately. It sounds like the rods are still good for using if they are in decent shape and this one is so I may take it out and try it once I get it rigged up....we'll see.
Haven't been on here for a while with everything that has been going on. We are going to try and get down that way by the end of the month and may go out to Aunt Maggie and Bobs if they are back in time. Feel free to call anytime you want or need to chat.
We all miss having you here but hope you can take advantage of being down there,
Good talking to you last night and the girls send their love. The visit with mom went well yesterday she seemed to be handling this well. It sounds like you will have all the support you need down there but we'lll still make our way down as often as possible.
Nice change of pic's. Nope my picture was in a beer tent in Wurzburg.....I believe you spent some time in the same tent....I'll call with the tire size..
