Awe, thanks Miles!! It truly warms my heart to read the words you just wrote about TPFR. Thank you and all the other active TPFRers for keeping that spirit alive and well!! I look in on you all pretty much every day and I am continually proud and pleased with what the club is and has become.

Hope to make a BEER TIE in the not too distant future - I will definitely let you all know of any trips south!
Miss you all!!
Dan

--I listened to the TAL episode a couple weeks ago with my wife. She kept asking me if fly tyers really get that obsessed over rare feathers, and why? I said, sadly, yes, and as best I can figure, it was some kind of status competition. I get the artistry of the flies, but not the fixation on materials - especially when we have so much new stuff available to us. I think the salmon tying community behaved pretty shabbily throughout.
One of the things I have always liked about this group - really the spirit Dan brought to it - was the absence of that sort of elitist bullcrap. Stuff like the bluegill tournament, which I think is awesome. I really appreciate that about TPFR.Miles
