OH MY GOSH! (PRESENT SAGA IN ALL CAPS!)
(Here is my haul out of my stocking! WOW! I have so many pliers now that I won't ever need any more! And Bill tied me up a bunch of steelhead leaders so I don't complain that I can't see close up now! Now, that's a good present too! 24 pretied steelie egg loops! :smile: :smile: )
I think a picture is worth 4000 ifishers!
WHEEEEEEE HA!!!!
I had no clue, and Shane, how is this edible, but shouldn't be eaten? That was the only clue I got.... BOGUS CLUE!
The reel is abs beautiful! It is a Lamson... You know, the ones that I never thought I would EVER own? YEESH! Be careful with that reel! Can I use it, or should I just keep it in the safe deposit box at the bank? :smile: :smile:
I love it so much! I had to retake the picture, cuz it was so ugly, plus, my robe was open too far, and it would have been a pay per view... Either that, or a "pay to not view!!!" :smile:
It is awesome, and thank you SO MUCH!!!!
The box is absolutely beautiful, and I want to fish with that too!
OH! I need to take a pic of the box!!!!
I'll go do that!
Jen

Re: OH MY GOSH! (PRESENT SAGA IN ALL CAPS!)
Jennie,
The generosity of Ifishers exceeded the amount we needed to raise. The surplus was donated to Tillamook Anglers in the name of Ifish.net.
Merry Christmas!

Re: OH MY GOSH! (PRESENT SAGA IN ALL CAPS!)
Merry Christmas, Jennie. I hope you are not too disappointed not to find a little brown bear in that box.
Thank you to Shane and Pete for putting this together and to everyone for the donations behind Jennie's back while she was distracted with that bear!

Merry Christams Jenny. I hope you get some good use out of the reel.
It needs to be used not just looked at.

Re: OH MY GOSH! (PRESENT SAGA IN ALL CAPS!)
Oh no!!! Another fly-fishing geek in the making. Now you'll get all uppity and not want to get your fingers all eggy, Bill will get tired of your whining about bait-fishing, etc, etc.
Don't listen to the dark side Jennie. Send me that reel and I will keep it from destroying life as you know it.....

Now you need to get out back and ambush some chromers. Wonder if you a need a sink-tip line to get down to their level.

Re: OH MY GOSH! (PRESENT SAGA IN ALL CAPS!)
Of course I can cast a fly rod!
I do it all summer when I tease the cutts out back. Daily!
The steelhead rod is not much different.
I haven't, however, caught anything on a fly above 20 inches. That is my goal in life now!
I did hook a chum once, and I was so excited that I didn't know what to do. I just kept screaming at Bill, "WHAT DO I DO????" the line was all wrapped around my feet in the drift boat and I freaked out!
Lost the fish, too. :depressed:
NEXT TIME.... YOU WAIT STUPID FISH!
Jen

Enjoy the reel Jennie. We want to see it in action. Prefferably with a fish peeling line off. Merry Christmas.

Re: OH MY GOSH! (PRESENT SAGA IN ALL CAPS!)
Jennie, That's a beautiful gift, and functional
too. Keep us posted on your progress toward
catching the +20" steelhead/salmon.
Pete, For those of us who didn't know this plan
was afoot, might there be a way to contribute
to the over-run of funds that you diverted to
T'mook Angler?
Best regards,
