The telephone poles themselves are easy to find: the hard part is pulling them out of the ground :mrgreen: .

Actually, since I'm just starting out at this stuff I'm mostly focusing on strength and technique (ask me why I have old bowling balls in the garage-go ahead, ask me). The folks who know how to do this properly say "focus on technique-speed and distance will come. Meanwhile, ski season is approaching and I'm not done with flyfishing yet...looks like I'll still be a wuss at the start of the games season.

Bryan...tying some flies this weekend...
