    How about "vliegvissen"? That seems like a very nice Dutch word. (Thank you, Bing translator.)

    Does "Weilenmann" mean "Walker" as in a cartman or wagoner who walks with the wagon instead of riding? Feel free to tell me to mind my own business. I am a curious soul but I don't wish to be rude. "Dillon" comes from the French "de Leon", of (the) lion. In particular a French knight Jean de Leon, who mightily impressed my Irish ancestors.
