Good luck with the book Pat. Everyone here who has been inspired by you is looking forward to the finished work.
As you might surmise it's pretty cold up here in Ontario, Canada. I haven't been in my tube since the beginning of November. My friend and I are already into winter fishing mode. There is a trout farm with a pond that stays open all winter due to substantial flow. We flyfish and cast from shore to visible fish so it's a bit like fishing in a goldfish ball, but the fish are high quality fighters and it's a great place to try out new patterns and creations. Like you, I love to experiment and create and I'm always on the look out for new materials and techniques. I think you already know that although I flyfish almost exclusively I love to toss small jigs and spinners with the flyrod. I enjoy pushing the envelope and irritating the "purists".
