"The bigger they come, the faster I run," is a saying that has gotten me this far in life...
wow, it was that horrible car accident and you just couldn't turn away
Sounds to me we have the making of a FAOL football team here!!!
Ah, Jim, it seemed like a time for levity. So I'll be serious for a moment. I worked for orvis for a bit. love their rods (though i don't think they really think through their salt water...
Just don't get me started on the abel disco painted reels!!!!!!
i still say that if you don't fish a bamboo rod that you made yourself, with bamboo that you harvested yourself in sivro egas (after fighting off the savage tribe of resident head hunters, or...
I, for one, resent being called a snob. I'm a curmudgeon. (did i spell that right?)
The evolution of a fly fisher:
Beginner:believes he/she will be a better caster if he/she can get rid of his/her $100 fly rod and buy a $700 fly rod.

ok here's the question i'm dying to ask--what kind of a job did she get in phillipsburg??? cool little town, but i didn't see much in the way of business or industry when i was there. inquiring...

hi Mike-no time for fishing--too busy starting up a new university, and my house in thuwal isn't ready yet. but when it is i have high hopes--before the Saudis built the university in thuwal, it was...
oh, no, it was definitely ffm that banned me for being a bit too liberal
i had a day like that, but then i woke up.
way to go!!!! if you had landed the tarpon on the six weight you'd be a legend!

it's been quite the contrast, i'll say that. saudi is cool though (well, actuallly it's 100 everyday) fun adventure so far and have been getting to do a lot of traveling. no fishing yet, but...
100% Always struck me as ironic that salt water flies are the easiest to tie but are the most expensive. $5 is a lot to pay for a fly only to have blue fish chomp them off...
So, Colson, I take it then that you don't believe that what is ruining America is poor people on welfare???
(I was banned three or four years ago. Now that bulletin board is just a bad memory)
here' mine...you hold her head under the covers, then you...sorry, wrong dutch oven...
the fly fishing magazines seem to be nothing but destinations or obscure techniques--'quadruple haul" and the like. when fly rod and reel introduced a column on famous people who fly fished i called...
haven't wetted a line yet, but i have high hopes for fishing Thuwal. lots of coral reefs and even some mangrove swamps and before they built the university thuwal was a fishing village. i'll keep...
one word for you diane--stripers!
