I like to gather the stuff I find while out fishing - things hanging in trees, floating on a bunch of lily pads or hung up in a moss tangle - so long as getting to them doesn't appear it will result in a bath! It's mostly bait fishing around here so any flies I'm likely to find were probably mine to start with! Lots of bobbers of course, and now and then a cool lure. The bobbers and such get tossed in an old minnow trap; old fishing gear makes a nice still life on a family room bookcase. The lures etc. get hung on an old chain fish stringer in the study.
The other day my line got caught on a moss-covered length of rope, and when I pulled it up there was this magnet attached; guess somebody was fishing for something other than fish! It's a pretty strong one; I'm sure it will come in handy for something...
