Fly fish...But usually not with the dog. He' s such a compulsive damned retrtiever that he can' t help but chase the odd fly and goes bonkers when I' m hooked up with a fish. He does, however, get in plenty of water time and dummy practice. Blue Grouse season starts here in about 5 weeks...If he could read a calendar he' d be even jumpier than he is. Where you live in MA.? Although I' ve been in the Colorado Rockies for 16 years, I grew up in Norwood and on the Cape in Dennisport. Lived in Boston for 9 years as well before I came to my senses. Sure would love to get back there to chuck flies at Stripers. I' ve only fished them deep-sea, and they were nearly decimated when I left the area.
