One must have fly rod?

If there is only one must have fly rod then you likely have marital problems.

Favorite movie quote?

I'll tell you where. Someplace warm. A place where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talking about a little place called Aspen. Oh, I don't know, Lloyd. The French are assholes.

Advice to give people coming to fish the North Platte?

Love the worm.
