New Products Make the Fishing Even Better
I found lots of great new products I know you are going to like at the recent ICAST tackle show. Plano's new fly fishing boxes-the 3282, 3283 and the 3284 models-are perfect for storing, organizing and transporting flies. Made from sturdy EVA foam with large non-corrosive zippers, these floating (you'll appreciate this feature if you've ever dropped your fly box in a stream!) boxes are lightweight and virtually indestructible.The interiors of these new Plano boxes feature a high quality foam in both the lid and the base to double the fly storage capacity. The small-sized 3282 box measures 5.5"L x 3.25"W x 2"H; the medium-sized 3283 measures 7"L x 5"W x 2"H; and the large 3284 model measures 8.5"L x 6"W x 2"H. The boxes cost $7.99, $8.99 and $9.99 each. If you've ever broken one of your expensive rods and reels while traveling from one lake to another, you're really going to appreciate Plano's great new 1415 Z Series rod and reel case.
Bent Rods and Tight Lines
My girlfriend and favorite fishing partner, Erin Brasfield, has made numerous appearances in Bent Rods and Tight Lines. After two years of dating, including almost an entire year of living together, I decided it was time to stoop down on bended knee and propose marriage. .
Humans are well designed for an omnivorous diet
QLast weekend we had cottage guests. We knew they were vegetarians and prepared menus accordingly. All was well until I declared I was going fishing, and invited them to come. This led to a tirade on the evils of fishing — fish have rights too, they feel pain, yada, yada. I kind of lost it, and the rest of the weekend was frosty. Now I feel guilty — and haven't wet a line since! Do you think fishing is really mean, or bad ethics-wise? AI shouldn't touch this one with a ten-foot fly rod. I'm a fisherman, and I eat the fish I catch. Yum! Moreover, the last time I dealt with a fish question (involving a Siamese fighter and a cat) I got more nasty letters than on any subject but gay marriage. But like a trout to the fly, I rise again. Animal rights advocates usually begin with the claim that fish can feel pain.
