Not for nothing, but don't you think all the chatter on this newsgroup
has an affect on the traffic on Rapid River?

The only reason I ever went there was because Dave Lacourse frequently
said how great the fishing was there. It was just as he advertised, but
it was odd how you go on a long trip through the boonies and find
yourself on a stream that is just as crowded as a local river that is 30
minutes fron Rochester NY!

The talk about the Rapid on this ng is not responsible for many, if
any, flyfishers on the river. It was "discovered" long ago by other
means, from magazine to newspaper to TV coverage, and is a very
popular subject on "fly fishing maine", a website that acts as a
bulletin board/chat room for fly fishers.

I have introduced the river to many roffians by having two claves at
Lakewood. The only person returning thus far is Peter Charles. I've
taken four or five friends to the river, and only one has returned on
a regular basis. Most find Lakewood too expensive and don't know how
to fish the river except from Lakewood.

The only time it is crowded is when fishing conditions are ideal, and
then only on the week-ends. The ideal flow is from 450 -1000 cfs.
Once it gets above 1200 the locals tend to stay away because they have
limited spots to fish and are not capable of wading across the river
at the currents or lower dam.

While the river continues its popularity, I expect the fishing to be
affected. So also goes the western rivers, Penns, Alaska, and
Kamchatka.

I was so put off by the cover of that issue that I doubt I'll renew my
subscription, came close to canceling it altogether.

Well, that and that Orvis/TU have been promoting their "save the Rapid"
campaign for several years. At least they're not publishing articles about
the secret spot.

I remember reading on ROFF that TU had sold the Rapid *down the River* so to
speak?

Can you be more specific? I haven't seen it.

I just posted the link, I've got no opinion about the picture. I expect John was
joking, though, FWIW.

No, actually, I was serious. I mean there is a nude fishin dot com if
that's what floats your boat. I just thought posing some girl who was meant
to be fishing in her bra, no vest, no net....I mean it was all so, so,
staged. Which is okay. But this was virtually a studio shot with no other
purpose than to arouse and titillate. Cheap in my opinion.

Why not take her as she is, have her bend over to lift the fish out of the
water. Let her waders fill up down to the belt and take of shot of the water
cascading out of the swollen top of her waders while her boobs are blurred
by bubbles?

Not wishing to titillate at all, much less arouse! But why not do it
properly? ;

Exactly. At least she looks like she might actually know how to fish. At
least she can dress for the occasion.
