    Excellent pics, Arlen. Fishing and Firebreathing - another two possible kilted activities to add to the list.

    I've not gone fishing in a very long while, I may have to dig my gear back out!

    What do you use to breathe fire? I've used 151 proof rum, 190 proof grain alcohol, and kerosene. I must say that I prefer using the rum best! Nice fireball btw!

    You are so gonna like Idaho!

    Hope you've read A River Runs Through It, or seen the movie. The story is set just over the line in Montana and I swear it captures the local culture perfectly....or at least my parents and grandparents who were raised there in SW Montana.

    I definately prefer using a high proof rum, but I have also used high proof Gin and, on far younger and poorer occasions, lighter fluid.

    I definately enjoyed Idaho while I was there.
    I have indeed read a river runs through it and seen the film. It was my fiance who taught me to fly-fish and she lived in Livingston, Montanta where the movie was filmed for a number of years.

    Have you read The river why by David James Duncan? Great book and a great author. I also like My story as told by water written by him.

    I love to fish in kilts, saves on waders. But... the water is far too cold on The Gallatin, The Big Blackfoot, The Madison, or The Yellowstone. The reason some of us wear the kilt might just disappear in water like that!!! All of those books are great, they even did a decent job with the movie (river runs through it). I always remember a time elk hunting with my dad on the Yampa river here in colorado, early november, the teens below zero(f), my dad decides to bath in the river, at a spot moving too fast for ice. He did not even reach the bottom before he started to get back out. Everywhere the water touched him he was bright blue, and the shrinkage... funny! happy angling and dangling, see ya

    Arlen, What I want to know is how often you get nibbled in your kilt while fishing? Watch out for the turtles

    Hey Arlen

    If you get back this way, come up to north Idaho - we have a few streams here and just across the line in Montana where you can have a multi-species day - Cutthroat, Rainbow, Brown, and if you're lucky a Bull trout to finish things off!
