A late Christmas gift
Posted: Sun Jan 01, 2023 5:23 am
It's New Years Eve and my family and I went to Denver to watch our hockey team, the Colorado Avalanche play the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Leafs won 6 to 2. We need a new goalie because he let 5 goals in by the middle of the 2cd period and then they pulled him out and put in our 3rd string goalie who didn't allow a goal in the entire rest of the game.
But that's not what I want to talk about. When we got home I noticed a small package on the porch addressed to my son. I brought it into the house and gave it to him and he said it was actually for me from him and my wife. So I opened it and I was pleasantly surprised. It's a book called, The History of Fly - Fishing in Fifty Flies.
What I really like about this book is first the history of these wonderful flies, but also it has the original tying recipe for them and it tells you who first tied these flies and when they were tied and where.
I was told I have another book coming and I can only hope it's Ray Bergman's book, Trout. But who knows what it could be. It could be Calvin and Hobbes, which is alright with me too. But I thought I'd share this with you because I think it's a pretty nice gift because I like the history of classic flies as much as I like fishing them.
Anyway, Happy New Year to all of you and I hope 2023 is a lot better than the last two years.
