big into flyfishing,We call him woody,[Long story on that]  ;) ;D anyway I took him down to the far end of my farm and he wet a line,didn't do much good but I had forgotten how pretty it was down there.I may have to go back more often now. :) Just look at the monster he caught. ;) :) His fly was bigger. :)

Bet Woody was proud of that one.   And what part of your farm isn't pretty in its own way.
Greg great bow for a great girl.

     Looks like he caught a river Dace.  My buddy and I were just learning to fly fish years ago, and he kept asking me what he was doing wrong, and to watch his cast.  Well I noticed that his fly was a tad bigger than it was originally, and I told him to reel in his line, and I walked over, and there was one of those little guys, that had latched onto his fly.  The guy at the fly shop said it was River Dace.  He said they don't get much bigger than that.  Well I don't think it would have gotten much bigger than that if it could, my Buddy had been flailing it all over the place, trying to figure out why, his cast wasn't right...... ;D

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

My take down,ready to brace.Also laying out the snake bow.Someone left me this tool for laying out the center line on bows.It really work great.You just set it down on the limb,rotate it where the pegs touch both sides and slide it down the limb.Thanks for ever who left it. ;) :)
