Yes, I consider y'all models of journalistic excellence and true movers-and-shakers in the fly fishing world. That's why I contribute. I'm glad to know you weren't trying to characterize me as a "pretender." I've always been under the impression that LadyFisher likes my writing. I wish I had something fly-fishing related to say every week that I thought might be interesting to someone else. But I don't. I tend to take a rather zen-ish approach to fishing. So the less thought that goes into it...in general...the better. And that doesn't translate well into a weekly column anyone would want to read.Originally Posted by J Castwell
