AND, on the other hand, there are some of us ( I, included-( perhaps too much of an admission) and I'll wager, MOST of us) who don't know a Caddis fly from a house fly , and, although appreciate the efforts and contributions of y'all who tie your own, feel unqualified to post comments other than "nice fly". I have been fly fishing for a "hunnert" years and have NEVER felt shorted onaccounta my ignorance in that regard. FAOL seems ,recently, to be a bit heavier on the "laughs" and "birthdays" posts, perhaps supporting my original thesis, than on the the nuances of the sport. FAOL recently has become more of a social networking medium for folks of a "similar" interest. At risk of being accused of speaking for others, the FOTW submissions are appreciated, certainly by me and probably by most if us. I'ts just for the reason cited that I feel the responses are anemic.
This is only my opinion, and, as Dennis Miller oft adds " I could be wrong".
