I was very close to my Grandfather, who taught me a lot as we talked while fishing along a river bank, lake shore, or from a fishing pier together. <BR/><BR/>I also have my dad's old Fenwick rod, and his Ambassador 5000. Dad and I were not very close at all, as he developed Alzheimer's at an early age. My only good memories about my dad are when we went fishing . . . which seems to always calm his soul and spirit. The rest of the time, he always seemed agitated about something or another.<BR/><BR/>I have fished enough now that I have "retired" a couple of rod and reels . . . for sentimental reasons.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111604494705227127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27702775.post-43903530197749527492007-11-21T21:30:00.000-06:002007-11-21T21:30:00.000-06:00Hi Janie,We are expecting a cold front tonight and...Hi Janie,<BR/><BR/>We are expecting a cold front tonight and so around Austin the highs this weekend are like not to break out of the 50s.<BR/><BR/>For saltwater fly fishing, I would recommend Dean "Slowride" Thomas http://www.slowrideguide.com/index.htm<BR/><BR/>Dean can accomodate different types of trips whether in a bay boat or kayak, conventional or fly fishing for redfish. He is located in Port Aransas.<BR/><BR/>For freshwater in the Hill Country surrounding Austin area, I would recommend Kevin Hutchinson http://www.hillcountryflyfishers.com/index.html<BR/><BR/>Good luck!texasflyfisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07807956251544952743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27702775.post-73954821950431431222007-11-18T16:01:00.001-06:002007-11-18T16:01:00.001-06:00(I meant Thanksgiving weekend!;))(I meant Thanksgiving weekend!;))That Janie Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17447630124016303483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27702775.post-81215270112950877282007-11-18T16:01:00.000-06:002007-11-18T16:01:00.000-06:00Hey, TFF, just ran across your blog and thoroughly...Hey, TFF, just ran across your blog and thoroughly enjoy it!
