Happy Thanksgiving to you all. Hey TM, on this day the stuffer becomes the stuffed and as the saying goes...you are what you eat. Is this why I put nuts in my stuffing?

To you all thanks for the tips over the last year. I am still looking forward to someday having the priveledge of meeting you. Maybe then I will be worthy of some kind of cool bb moniker.

I just received a 'beginners fly tying kit' for my b-day and the long grey days of winter seem to be ideal for learning to tie up a few ugly buggers, I mean woolybuggers. Any advice for a beginner? How about a place for getting supplies? Also, I am looking for a second heavier rod but do not have the 'approved' funds from 'she who must be obeyed' to go all out. Any recommendations for something under 100.00?
