A nice note came my way last night ... I'll change the river name and the angler's name to protect the "guilty" / "innocent"

So, I'm getting ready to go fish the "River X" this weekend, haven't been out all year, I've got my leader, my hooks, and begin tying up. And I sit there and draw a complete blank on how to tie an egg loop. I must have tied millions of these damn things, and I couldn't for the life of me remember how.

Then I remembered seeing that you had an mpeg on how to tie egg loops. Thanks!! You saved me mucho frustration and embarrassment, I was going to have to call my buddy and ask him!

In light of the long hours I put into keeping things going / updated ... notes like this mean a lot to me and keep me going ... kind like watching a youngster catch his/her first fish. I appreciate them and am happy to hear that some of you are enjoying the fruits of our labor! Good luck to all!

Bob,

I took thirty years off from fishing for career and family. The kids are now grown and out and the last few years I have rediscovered my passion for fishing... a large boost has come from this site. I "lurked" for a long time, "borrowing" from your tips section, sometimes remembering, other times learning. Thanks for helping me to connect back to fishing and to the fishing community.

I'm sure there is a financial benefit from your involvement in all of this but I've got to believe that the amount of time involved in doing this site is still way out of whack compared to the monetary benefits derived.

Thank you, too, for takeing the long view and allowing the voices of other guides to be heard on the forum..

This is a nice place to come and visit...

Jeff

Bob,

Think your doin a great job and appreciate the tech advice and the advice given by others on the board. Just thought it would be a good time to say thanx and keep up the good work.

Thank you

Kevin

Bob your site is by far the most informative and entertaining site for fishing on the web. Keep up the good work, you always seem to be the frontrunner on techniques and new ideas and I'm sure most everybody appreciates your hard work. I know I do. Keep it up!!! fishaday

That goes double for me.

There are two of us in my office that check your site out everyday. one of these days our management is going to block the site from office internet. Its gonna suck having to find a new job... But then again think of how much time I'll have for fishing . Thanks for your hard work I do appreciate it.

Bob,

Really enjoy the site. When things get busy and I can't get out to go fishing, it is nice have some place to go, to curb the pangs....well somewhat. Keep up the good work.
Still looking for the tip on rewraping your oars.

i wanna add my thanks to ya bob for all the time and resources spent for our viewing..and also taking time to send me my other screen name info...hope your business is blessed, thanks bob..

I also have used the Tackle and the tips portion of this web site, for someone just getting into Steeheading I found it very helpful. So my thanks goes out for all the hard work and time you have put into this site.

Good work Bobbo and Corey--to think way back when there were 20 people on this board. Its well recognized!!
