I feel the pain you are feeling. The local Fly Fishing shop is closing After 30 + years. I learned alot in that store . Old guy that owns it is retiring .
Rush Limbaugh embodies all the worst characteristics as above, and the tenor of what he says is vicious and vile. I'm sure it's money that keeps him on the air; it's certainly not anything to do with being an able talk host. I'm hoping to be introduced some day so I can hit him in the mouth...
I have picked some good fly lines spooled up on some cheap reels on ebay. if you look close in the pictures you can sometimes see a line ID sticker on the reel. A twenty dollar reel with an eighty dollar line on it.
my daily driver is a 99 Dodge ram with the cummins diesel.and in the garage is a Alfa Romeo Spider that is my project car. And a 1989 560 SEL Mercedes benz.
In the past I have owned three beetles and a bus. My last vw was a 2001 Sport new beetle. the car was turbocharged and it was very fast. It is no longer in the garage.(my wife took it when she left!) Back in the day JC Whitney was my friend.
I have been fly fishing almost thirty years. My first rod was a bubble packed setup from a local catalog store . My equipment has improved over the years but I had the most fun using and learning on that cheap set up.
