Sounds like you're having a blast Pete. One of these days I'll get old like you and can fish every day of the week. HaHa. I've never really learned the techniques for fly fishing except to slap a small popper on the water for gils. I know that is fun so I can just imagine what it would be like to hook up to a red or nice speck. I have a neighbor just up the street that likes to chase reds with a fly rod and I really enjoy hearing his stories. One day I just might hook up with him for a demo.
