Here's Anderson's latest shootout on 8 weights. Interesting how well the TFO BVK did. It just proves you don't need to spend a bundle to get a good performing rod.

"Should you cast your fly into a branch overhead or into a bush behind you, or miss a fish striking, or lose him,or slip into a hole up to your armpits-keep your temper; above all things don't swear, for he that swears will catch no fish."

Yay! 
I tried reading it last night, but my eyes and brain were too weary from a fishin trip. I'll get to it this week.
