This holiday season get that fly fishing film aficionado the must have DVD of the year, Geofish, Adventures with Baba Looey. Follow the madcap Motiv crew, except for Thad who is allergic to donkey dander, as they rescue Baba from a shady Tijuana back alley establishment and search from Baja to Belize for his rightful owners. Along the way they learn that not only does B.L. have a nose for permit and Pacifico, but that traveling with a famous show donkey will get you out of trouble with the cartels everytime.

Death's Glory by CapnSkusting

"Anglers reckon that a good dry fly should cunningly mimic the real thing.There are the right flies for morning. There are different flies for the evening rise.
And so on.
But the thing between Death's triumphant fingers was a fly from the dawn of time.
It was the fly in the primordial soup. It had bred on mammoth turds.
It wasn't a fly that bangs on window panes. It was a fly that drills through walls.
It was an insect that would crawl out from between the slats of the heaviest swat
dripping venom, and seeking revenge. Strange wings and dangling bits
stuck out all over it. It seemed to have a lot of teeth.
"What's it called?", said Mort?
I SHALL CALL IT - DEATH'S GLORY.

Death gave the thing a final admiring glance and stuck it into the hood of his robe."

These spooky fish were caught in this fence in Texas during a hurricane storm surge.
