    1. Thank you, Bill, for your comments on this post from my recent archive. I really believe, as you, that things have really gotten out of hand. I would just like to relay to my readers, that I think that it has gone that way, and needlessly so!

      Very happy to be back blogging and among my long time blogging friends. From this ol' Vet, thanks a bunch!

  4. You know that I'm in about the same boat as you are as far and age and ability so I applaud you for this. A good fisherman doesn't need high tech gear to catch fish. And if it matters to someone that you and your grandson connect with fishing a fly and a bubble and they don't like it. Who cares. My money will always be one you Mel because I know where your heart is.

    1. Howard, my BlogBrother, thank you so much for leaving this comment. It means a lot when you know your fellow fishers and blogging friends accept what you write, and, stand beside their fellow blogger with open arms and open minds. Thanks for your ten years or so of support and brotherly love..........................

  5. Good to have you back, Mel!! Looking forward to more of your posts just like this one, and helping share the knowledge of a budget minded angler like yourself. There are some things I'll be working on this winter that will be right up the budget alley. You know I like to utilize my other gear, especially, my spinning rods. Fishing is fishing, and it's always a great time, no matter what the technique.
