These are still-shots I took of some of my fly fishing equipment. Attempting an "impressionistic" look, I modified the images using a Beta version of Microsoft PhotoDraw.

Silence of the Lamson

This is the Lamson LP 1.5 I just purchased from Walt Winter. I haven't even had the chance to fish with it yet--except in my dreams--but I can tell you that the drag is extremely sweet.

A Bunch of Bass Bugs

These are the bass bugs I use at the neighborhood pond down the street. I've tried different patterns, but I inevitably return to the yellow popper you see prominently featured here.

A Penn is Mightier than the Sword

These are a couple of my fishing rods: a 7' 4wt Fenwick and an 8.5' 5wt Penn travel rod. Both rods are in the $150 range and I love them. One day I'll buy a really nice trout rod, but these have served me well thus far.

Nothing Beats a Bougle

I bought this reel to go with my infamous bamboo fly rod. What this reel might lack in practicality it makes up for in classic Hardy quality  and sheer good looks.
