Re: Some recent flies from the vise
thanks, my bad.....
That is confusion of the past tense with the past participle, and it's unfortunately really common in the US.
My guess it's because the speaker is interpreting "should have" as a particle indicating expedience and trying to combine it with the past indicative.
I need to study........

Re: Some recent flies from the vise
Everyone on this site is much more shallow than you give them credit for. THouse was asking for the recipe for the fly in the picture that was just a hook and a bead, LU's remark was that THouse did not have the skills to tie a fly with only a hook and a bead. Just more of the sophomoric humor that IS this site.
I used to visit, and contribute more often, but after seeing most threads and posts had absolutely nothing to do with fly fishing I stopped visiting the site a couple of years ago. I came back recently and see nothing has really changed.
Fly fisher for fifty-five years and still loving it!

I finally made it there yesterday. Nice hike, beautiful river, no fish. I didn't try too hard though. Saw two other people. Can't make uploading pics work.
Looking to get lost.
