Jonathan, trust me when I say Victoria's Secret can make a killing with the fly fishing industries, that is, if there's are more ladies getting into the fishing arena. I need to find the photos where my wife actually was wearing the Victoria's 2008 two piece bikini while doing fly rod-micro spinner reel fishing off the shore near the weed line at Lake Gregory for trout. I still can't wrap my brain around that moment in time. Wish I had Greghopper's booby flies, and it would have been..GLORIOUS!! Okay..time to get back down to earth.

Finally got around to reading this thread :)  Happy BBG birthday!  BBG is the best! I think we have the best web community anywhere.

Leo, I'm not so sure about this whole Victoria's-Secret-meets-fly-fishing thing. I just don't have much confidence that fishnet waders would be effective, for instance :-)
