Don't correct me, I've sold over 2 of them to satisfied clients who have used them to catch highly edumacted bluegills in the canal.

im very late with this addition but i really enjoyed the letort challenge and hope it really goes on. that stream kicked my butt. also, the bit about putting a competent angler on any body of water for any species and they catch fish is just ludicrous. i mean, it took me almost a year before i landed my first hawaiian bone here. so, i graciously extend another chance. you buy a plane ticket and i will put you in every single bonefish flat i have personally fished on and you can have a week to catch one.

Always wondered what the H was for, just looked it up. I think they're reaching on their explanation.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_H._Christ

Actually the Greek would make some sort of sense. However, I always thought it just stood for "Hallelujah!"

Jesus H. Christ is an example of slang serving as a profanity.[1] IHC-monogram-Jesus-medievalesque.svg The expression dates to at least the late 19th century, although according to Mark Twain it was already old in 1850.[2][Need quotation to verify] Using the name of Jesus Christ as an oath has been common for many centuries, but the precise origins of the letter H in the expression Jesus H. Christ are obscure. While many explanations have been proposed, some serious and some not, the most widely accepted derivation is from the divine monogram of Christian symbolism. The symbol, derived from the first three letters of the Greek name of Jesus (??????), is transliterated iota-eta-sigma: IHS, ??? (with lunate sigma), JHS or JHC. Since the transliteration IHS gave rise to the backronym Iesus Hominum Salvator (Latin for "Jesus, savior of men"), it is plausible that JHC similarly led to Jesus Harold Christ,[3] Harold coming from the mispronunciation of the word "hallowed" of the Lord's Prayer: "Our Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name." The H has also been said to stand for "Holy."

And on the 6th day the Lord thought unto himself, "Go and fish thy stream, thou art in Carlise and it was good. Letort Holy Spring Creek, thine waters will cleanse mens souls." ;-)

Sounds like I finally found a topic for my dissertation!

I might add that it refreshes the sack rather well too.

Although for good measure, I will dig up some of my favorite images.
