| The one thing I have always enjoyed about
| |
| | that SHOULD wear ties. As long as they
|
| fishing is that you rarely see anyone
| |
| | were made of sheeps wool, the
|
| wearing a tie.I suppose there is the
| |
| | flyfisherman could use the "fuzzy tie" to
|
| occasional urban lunchtime warrior who
| |
| | have even a greater drying pad to keep
|
| might race from his cubicle to the Hudson
| |
| | his caddis, royal coachman, and brindle
|
| river to get a few casts in for some
| |
| | bugs handy and at the ready for quick
|
| glow-in-the-dark fish, but ties are
| |
| | pattern change out.But enough about the
|
| certainly not the norm when it comes to
| |
| | tie.Fashion, as a general rule has
|
| suiting up for a days fishing on the
| |
| | escaped the fishing world.This is a world
|
| river.When it comes to high fashion in
| |
| | where despite the efforts of Orvis and
|
| the fishing world, a button up fast
| |
| | L.L. Bean, plaid is still the king, the
|
| drying high tech shirt is about as close
| |
| | t-shirt is still considered standard
|
| to fashionable as it gets.Unless of
| |
| | issue and drab greens and brown tones
|
| course you count the plaid jacket!!As it
| |
| | rule the day.Thank goodness, because I
|
| is, I can't quite figure out the purpose
| |
| | know the day is coming -when the Gods of
|
| of the necktie anyway.Who in their right
| |
| | fashion will begin to turn the fishing
|
| mind would come up with a part of the
| |
| | world upside down with trendy nouveau
|
| male wardrobe to wrap around your neck,
| |
| | styles and colors.Before long, tall,
|
| and then cinch it up tight, and consider
| |
| | emaciated, high cheek boned beauties will
|
| this a vital part of the function of
| |
| | be "walking the runway", in Jordache
|
| clothing.For Gods sake,this is what they
| |
| | waders showing us the latest designs of,
|
| would do to condemned men just before
| |
| | breathable yet flattering river wear, in
|
| they drop the floor out from under them,
| |
| | purple,yellow, floral and .......dare I
|
| to create a rather discomforting
| |
| | say it....TAUPE!! Especially since more
|
| constriction about the windpipe and
| |
| | and more women are taking up the sport of
|
| neck.I could understand it if the tie
| |
| | flyfishing, can high fashion be far
|
| somehow held all our other clothes
| |
| | behind??I'm not sure you can feel like a
|
| up,like a belt, keeping our clothes from
| |
| | snappy dresser with fish guts,bait and
|
| dropping to our ankles in a useless
| |
| | slime all over you but maybe with a
|
| gathering of cloth. As far as I know
| |
| | diamond encrusted net dangling from your
|
| there has also never been an instance of
| |
| | hip you will feel properly accessorized
|
| a tie keeping a shirt in tact in high
| |
| | for an elegant evening on the river.The
|
| winds.It's obvious the tie was invented
| |
| | fishing world has already come a long way
|
| by our female counterparts, and is the
| |
| | when it comes to fashion--or should I say
|
| ultimate payback for all our manly sins
| |
| | style.Once upon a time, most fisherman
|
| that we commit everyday. I am sure it was
| |
| | looked more like deck hands, wearing
|
| produced under the guise of "fashion" at
| |
| | rubber waders with big oversized boots at
|
| some point, with some weak feeble
| |
| | the bottom. You would slip these over
|
| argument that a "gentleman" should always
| |
| | your jeans and big thick wooly socks and
|
| don a noose around his neck-lest he
| |
| | if was cold, that red and black checkered
|
| become a barbarian!!Other parts of the
| |
| | jacket would keep you warm.It also would
|
| wardrobe I understand.Shoes?I understand
| |
| | help to hide the tobacco juice stains
|
| shoes. They were developed to help
| |
| | that you would invariably always spit on
|
| protect our feet from the hostile
| |
| | yourself while fishing. It basically was
|
| environment of thistles,
| |
| | one size fits all--and you couldn't tell
|
| weeds,pavement,and hot coffee spills.
| |
| | if a person was 270 pounds or 140 pounds
|
| Shoes make senseSocks?Protection from
| |
| | under the rubber--everyone looked 270
|
| shoe rub and sneaky thistles approaching
| |
| | pounds.Today neoprene and lightweight
|
| from ankle height.Pants?Well, outside of
| |
| | high tech shredded milk carton shirts are
|
| not developing them with an expandable
| |
| | being seen more and more, and the fishing
|
| waistband, pants have proven beneficial
| |
| | vest has more cubbies and pockets than a
|
| in adding warmth, again providing
| |
| | colony of Kangaroos.And they look good on
|
| protection from yet even higher thistles
| |
| | the cover of magazines to boot!!Speaking
|
| and stickers, keeping the suns harmful
| |
| | of boots.I remember my first wading boots
|
| rays off of pasty white anglo legs, and
| |
| | were basically the same boots I wore to
|
| protecting us from hot coffee spills. As
| |
| | muck out manholes when I worked for the
|
| an added benefit, they also protect our
| |
| | telephone company. Now, they look more
|
| eyes from viewing knobby knees and senior
| |
| | like "Hush Puppies" and I'm not so sure I
|
| citizens who might otherwise have been
| |
| | wouldn't be proud to wear them into the
|
| walking around in black socks,
| |
| | office.I suppose the day is coming when
|
| Florisheims, and a loin cloth had pants
| |
| | neoprene waders will be made to look like
|
| not been invented.Underwear?The jury is
| |
| | tuxedos or Armani suits--so we can really
|
| still out on this benefit--BUTT-- we will
| |
| | look like gentlemen out there. That might
|
| give underwear the benefit of the
| |
| | not actually be a bad idea, I for one
|
| doubt.Shirts?Again, sun protection,
| |
| | could see the benefit in that--especially
|
| warmth in the winter, and a place to hide
| |
| | if the wedding ceremony runs into the
|
| those man breasts and ape like features
| |
| | evening hatch--one could still make it
|
| we men have worked hard to develop. Keeps
| |
| | out to the river and save some valuable
|
| ketchup and mustard off our bellys
| |
| | time avoiding "change time".All in all,
|
| also.Hat?We all know where the heat is
| |
| | it doesn't really matter to me if some
|
| going to escape. A brilliant invention
| |
| | style continues to creep into the fishing
|
| and very much like the thermos--it keeps
| |
| | world, but if they start making the
|
| you warm, it keeps you cool, how does it
| |
| | "river tie"--I'm taking up Golf!A.J.
|
| know???Coats,
| |
| | Klott
|
| gloves,vests,belts,boots--hell-- even
| |
| | Author, writer of fishing humor,and "fly
|
| chaps, all seem to have a function behind
| |
| | tack" peddler.A.J. writes about the
|
| them.But the tie?Unless it was developed
| |
| | people,characters and modern day events
|
| for men to have a permanently available
| |
| | that surround the fishing world. His
|
| napkin, or snot rag---I see no
| |
| | first book is due out in December of
|
| purpose.Actually, you could make the
| |
| | 2005.
