[cool][#0000ff]I'll have you know that some of my best friends (formerly) were dinosaurs. Back in the days when I used a stone float tube. I really miss those guys. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Man, you ain't lived 'til you take a icthyosaur on a dry fly. Since there were no birds then...or mammals...it was tough finding good fly tying material. Had to shred tree bark with my obsidian axe and tie it up with sinews. Big [/#0000ff][#0000ff]ugly looking flies, but the "fish" were pretty big and homely too.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I really think it will be a great addition to our forum to have some of the "evolutionary" pics. On a lot of subjects, it will probably be best if I do a post, with 400 pixel pics, in the body of the post, with narrative. For the "how to pics" that need more detail, we can do a post and add both narrative and attached pics as they come in.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]By the way, I hope everybody pitches in to help here. I have volunteered for a lot of work. You have no idea how long it took to put together the "Best of the Best" from past archives. You folks better appreciate it...or I'll just jump off my float tube.[/#0000ff]
