As luck would have it, a federal judge agreed and ruled in favor of Lee. How much monetary compensation does this mean? Well to put it in perspective, two Spider- Man movies thus far, have reaped on order of 800 million dollars apiece, in world wide ticket sales. This settlement could mean tens of millions of dollars for Lee, but battle is not over. Marvel, will quite probably appeal verdict and case may be tied up in courts for years.

Now don't go feeling too badly for Stan Lee. He is still pulling down a salary from Marvel on order of a million dollars. Still not to shabby in my mind. And Lee has mixed feels because he has been loyal to Marvel for 60 years. To have his lifelong employer trying to, shall we say, stiff him, for being so loyal, I'm sure, does hurt. Had it not been for Lee, Marvel may not have been in financial position they are today.

At 82, Stan Lee does have a comfortable and successful life. And if even his settlement is held up in courts for years, Stan won first round. He didn't bow down to corporate hammer. Just another "Joe working class hero" yelling out, hey guys, let's play by rules.

Sipping rise happens when insects are trapped in surface film and usually leaves a bubble behind.

Sub-surface rise causes all problems as rtout seems to be rising to take a surface fly, bt it is really taking an emerging nymph. As it does so, it disturbs water making it looks like a proper rise.

Head and tail rise are usually seen in smooth stretches of water to nymphs trapped below surface film where whole fish appears.

The challenge comes in first identifying fly that trout is taking, whether they are taking duns or spinners, or if they are nymping sub-surface.

After selecting correct fly, next challenge comes in persuading trout to take it.

The observant dry-fly angler learns by experience to recognize different types of rise that commonly make. This will help him to select correct fly and present it in a manner that feeding fish will accept.

Once a correct imitation fly to match those that trout are taking is selected, get a position downstream and cast at but not over rising fish.

Highlighted are common rises, to net that 'big one', all you need is to match correct fly to what trout is looking for and cast your rod!

Wishing you loads of catch!
