Saw a Barred Owl in the Fells a few weeks ago. About 2 hours before dusk. Never seen an owl in there before, but hear them hooting when the windows are open. Lots of squirrels were still active around then so I'm sure the Owl was eating well.
Never had an issue with reels, flies, waders, etc. Last time I flew to Colorado though, the TSA agent scrutinized my 6 weight I was carrying on because the cork grip possibly be used as a "club." So really depends on the person you deal with.
Interesting.
A co-worker gave me one of the kid's toys with the eyes. I just threw a foam head on a hook and have the tail off the back. Figure it might work with an intermediate line to represent an eel or something.
Have you swam your fly yet?
Haven't gotten the letter yet, but I don't have either of these.
This will probably go to court as it could fall under "unlawful seizure" since no one is being compensated for giving up their property as they would do with gun buybacks, according to GOAL.
Keough was my first stop this past weekend and quickly sucked 80 out of my wallet.
Second stop was your talk Steve, "Trout fishing for Striped Bass", which I found informative and entertaining.
