Pete,

Great post!

I'm doing an article on tying BIG flies, and I'll most likely include a couple of your techniques. I'll probably contact you for some details and comments.

Friends of Lavaguada have to hire a videomaker, and stop doing this awful videos mixed with photos. The fishing spots they show are fantastic, but the videos are crap!!

I take my first trout trip the day after Thanksgiving--this Friday. I'll have this in mind when I make my lunch. Thanks, Martin!

Paul,

Cutting down on the butter here. I love the stuff, but mustard is actually tastier and more healthy. And Coleman's...? Fine for certain things, but I prefer food that's not painful to eat! ;-)

Martin

mnnnnn! sounds good, but what about the butter? And I'll send you a pot of Colemans you pussy!

hope your keeping well mate ;-)

Bob,

I've been in the US and Canada and seen what's available, and I'll bet you that almost any local supermarket or grocery can supply decent ingredients for a sandwich like this - apart from the bread probably. But as I say: water, salt, yeast and flour and you're well on the way. It's easy, healthy and tasty. A little kneading and a lot of time and home made bread is bound to come out better than anything from a plastic bag.
Good ham can be found, just pay what it costs. Lettuce and tomatoes no problem. A good mustard has to be there somewhere. Onions, leeks, avocados, pickle, jalapenos or whatever you fancy. It should be easily available.

I'm sure it's possible.

Martin

Martin,
Except for the big cities with extensive European ethnic populations the vast majority of America is sadly lacking in many of the desired ingredients. While I was in the Army, stationed in Germany (1953-1956) many of the food stuffs we had came directly from Denmark and always remarked how good things tasted, especially the ham. Thank you for giving me a peek into your life.

Where can we get or view this movie. A Deliberate Life. We live in Summerland BC.

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
