    Kilts, Scotland, & Fly Fishing

    As I have mentioned before, I have never had a problem with my wife's reaction to my kilt, sporran, etc. As a matter of fact, she has even let me join a Scottish re-enactment unit, Muskets of the Crown.

    So today being my birthday, she gives my fly-fishing gear and says, "Next year we will have to get you to Scotland so you can fly fish in your kilt."

    What a woman!!

    If you have crappie near abouts, I urge you to get out there and get your fly-fishing chops together by going after them...mucho fun fishing for crappie on the fly rod...they're just starting to wake up around here and I can't wait to get out after a few.

    Best

    Auld,

    Thanx for the info. My son got me the rod and reel, and my wife the line, a book and some flies - friends of mine have a farm with some bass, crappie, blue gill and sunfish - so your advice is greatly appreciated.
