Read Leonard M Wrights books on the subject.
It's been years but I think he used to give his flies to other people to use for a while and then get them back when they were tore up.
He also introduced the method of swinging and presenting dry flies from upstream.
Widely considered to be complete heresy at the time.

I always have the fly rod in the truck but it is the Jigfest so it will stay in there.
I did pretty good last year with jogs.
I can't wait.
I'll be there this evening!!!!!!!!!
Pete
Exactly Ness!
What I think gets lost in the conversation is how much risk needs to be taken to achieve a lot of wealth and success.
The average guy that shows up everyday and collects his check really takes no real risk.
If he shows up, he gets paid.
Now start your own business or work for commision and see how much risky it really takes.
Gets a little scary when you don't where the next dime is coming from and shouldn't that person be compensated for that?

Ed Story invented it.
He founded Feathergraft Fly Shop in St Louis MO.
He was a great guy!!!
I took fly tying lessons from him as a Boyscout 40 something years ago.
I miss Ed.
I tied this one.

I'll be down Thursday evening sometime depending on work, so don't count on me for dinner Thursday.
I will be there Friday night and I'll leave Saturday afternoon.
I am bringing salad and a pie fro Friday night.
If something else is needed please let me know, I'll be glad to help.
Pete
I just meant the part about telling me what to do with my money.
Maybe you don't deserve a raise in the eyes of your boss, so he gives it away.
What about high level employees that don't own the company and yet earn "more" than what they need?
Should they give it to lower paid employees too?
