Was frosting (read: 'eating') xmas cookies w/ my 4yo nephew the other day while his dad and i talked about some musky flies he was tying. My nephew absorbs many FF buzzwords during convos like this and like any inquisitive kids asks any number of questions. To scaffold his FF learning i told my nephew that Santa was a BIGTIME flyfisherman and the kid was understandably unconvinced.
As proof i picked up a santa cutout cookie with red frosted legs and black boots and told my nephew that santa wears these 'red waders' year round. Santa's black boots were actually felt souled, and in xmas story books when one sees Santa in his sleigh flicking a whip over his reindeer, he's actually finessing a 4wt performing an upstream mend. The nephew's dad correctly added that the magic corn that makes reindeer fly is what Santa himself used to catch his first trout as a young angler.
Wonder what other proof is out there that Santa is a known FFer...
Any ideas?
