you all may know this already, but Hans van Klinken has a nifty web site where you can find the other flies he's invented.

Casey reveals site
That holds van Klinken secrets
It piques my interest.


Couldn't resist.

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!

Louis,

Please double-check the top forum rule (at the bottom of the forum homepage).

Also couldn't resist. ;)

There was an old fart from Palmyra
Who said of rhyme I don't care-a
It's just too hard
My lines sound like lard
That stubborn old fart from Palmrya.

See,

If I wax poetic,
haiku will sound much better
inevitably.

Therefore I protest this unfair rule, and am going to show up with signs.

Consisting of haiku.

Written in Japanese.

There once was a forum about
The science of fishing for trout.
Most of the guys
Just talked bugs 'n' flies
While poetry fluttered about.

But Jason, the "Troutnut", decreed
that for haiku 'round here there's no need.
Our nifty grafittis
And cool little ditties
Are now "no-nos"--a pity indeed!

Ignore unjust rules.
Hoot and blow big raspberries.
Nymph-ish behavior?

Hmmm. Another scofflaw. It seems we may have enough to form a club. Hey Casey, any olives down your way yet? I'm looking for fishing reports from you and others who are experiencing ice out.

Snow's meltin' and fish are lookin' up. Put away those skis and get out the dry flies and emergers. I don't want to be the only one out freezing my rear off. :)
