And that's Brule as in "cool," correct? Here in Southcentral PA, you get funny looks if you don't torture and elongate vowels, hence the Letort is pronounced LEE-tort. :)

Yeah, Brule rhymes with cool.

I'll try to remember that about the Letort. I want to fish the famous PA streams next spring while I'm still in the area, and it's certainly on my list.

Hey Gonzo, (and others who may have been wondering), I said I was "fairly sure" that your posts were playful because I was hesitant to speak too authoritatively on your behalf without consulting the source. It appears that it was clear to David, and probaby to everyone else that we're both hams who love to talk on. At least when we think we know something useful. Now that post on trout vision is one place where I have to just sit quiet and try to take it all in.

Is it not an art to deceive a trout with an artificial fly? A trout! that is more sharp-sighted than any hawk . . . and more watchful and timorous than your high-mettled merlin is bold!

Hey Louie, just teasing (again). A fairly dry sense of humor is a tricky thing to convey in writing, so I resort to using the colon and parenthetical mark to emphasize my intent. However, your gentlemanly consideration is much appreciated.
