"Rob Roy" Flypin

[macwilkin]

Firstly, I must confess to Phil that the "kilt" in that photo is actually a swatch of Iowa tartan.

The "Rob Roy" Flypin is certainly a thing of beauty. It's beauty is in its simplicity, as you can see. I could write a lengthy review, but there's no need. Some of you have already summed it up nicely:

Beware of walking too close to a stream of trout.

That looks really sharp, try to avoid the temptation to use it the next time you are walking along a stream and see signs of trout.

I love kilt pins with their own individual style, and this is one of the most unique I have ever seen.

I have always identified with the author Norman Maclean, because his family's history reminds me of my own -- his father, the Rev. John Maclean, reminds me a great deal of my grandmother, especially in her Presbyterian faith. This pin reminds me of her and my family's love for Roaring River State Park in SW Missouri. To quote Maclean:

"I am haunted by the waters".

I hope Phil won't mind me posting his Flypin page: http://www.pbase.com/pdcorlis/flypin.

Thanks, Phil!
