Moderator Palmyra PA Posts: 1722	Hmm, I posted this up in a hurry, thinking I might add to it, but there's no edit button for reports? What I would add is the dozens of flies tried, the billion refusals, and the gorgeous scene of the moon rising over the river the final night. And, oh yes, the second day was almost devoid of bugs. The flows this summer, according to everyone I've talked with, have been absurd, with heavy releases followed by trickles. Bugs and fish have been affected. Talk with shop owners before you head out to learn the current conditions.

Moderator Palmyra PA Posts: 1722	OK, OK, I must not have edited a post on this site for a while. I forgot about the little scissors icon at the top right being the edit button. But this gives me the opportunity to carry on a conversation with myself and to make this thread look really popular--until one actually sees who's doing all the posting. But soon my dear friends will begin to click on and deride me for all my forgetfulness. And I'm glad to provide them the opportunity for a bit of entertainment. Any of you new guys, look for the little scissors if you want to add to or change your posts. Or you can just hit reply, like I did. :)

Hayward, WI. Posts: 442	Louis, I hope you will excuse me for barging in on your personal thread. Dear friend or not I certainly would not deride you for your forgetfulness, but I would caution you about playing with scissors lest you cut out my favorite part—the entertainment.
	Falsifly When asked what I just caught that monster on I showed him. He put on his magnifiers and said, "I can't believe they can see that."
