DDR; Chuck (xflyzguy) here. I want to thank you for about the nicest compliment I have ever recieved. And you don't have to flyfish with my flies, they work for trolling and with some creative rigging they can be used alot like soft plastics. They can also be used for a spinner type presentation. I would simply use egg leads or craftstore hematite beads to add casting weight. I would also use a bead with a toothpick broken off jammed in the hole in front of the fly to hold the entire deal together so it doesn't s-p-r-e-a-d-o-u-t- when you cast/pitch/flip whatever. I also seem to remember you asking for/about the wiggle fins. I started a new thread on the tackle page and re-weighed in on the wiggle fins and the new seriesII larger ones. I have to say that wiggle fins are the most bang for the buck item to come out in years. I don't work for them, and I don't think they even know I exist. If you would send me an address I will send you some flies and stuff just so you can touch feel smell see and then maybe you will tell a friend or two to help spread the word. I think just spreading the word would be more helpful than sending me any money at this point. I would feel bad accepting a contribution from anyone unless it was from a potential partner/sponsor kind of thing. I think that the/a show is the way to go about this whole thing and right now I have day job that actually leaves Teresa and I without the means/funds/time/energy to get out there and film the real deal even with my one man band set-up. I have not even been back out on the water in MY scanoe or my Hewescraft since I filmed my show on July 22,'03. I better cut myself off here, and thanks again. SEND an address and I will send you some goodies, Chuck and Teresa.
