Well, Pogo, and speaking only for myself, I don't loathe anyone here,
and particularly, because I've no reason to do so.

Wolfgang
well, but what would one expect from a holiday built on an infantile
fiction.....ainna? :)

Yeah, what would one expect...


MER-R-R-RY CHRISTMAS!!!

You have yet to demonstrate that you have any reason for anything.

So?

my estranged father has recently made a reappearance in my life. he
seems
tickled to death that i fish, as he spins. while talking on the phone
the
other night, he said that if we are going to be doing any fishing
together
he might as well get some fly fishing gear. he likes to fish for
trout,
but
greatly enjoys fishing for walleye, pike and the like. he is coming
for
a
visit over christmas and wants to pick up some stuff while he's here.

Er, no...you have yet to observe anything, but like all such things,
that's your problem, not mine...

So?

So what?

HTH,

....and if you don't like that answer, snake, apparently, is in need of
some ass-kissing...

Snake, I'd pivot and go in another direction, if I wuz you. I'd ask long
removed dad to go fishing with me and see if he wuz man enough to use my fly
fishing equipment. Seems to me you and Pops have a lot of catching up to
do and he don't need to buy fly fishing equipment to do that. And just for
ho hos if he was in a post-Christmas spendy frame of mind, I'd have a
back-up local guide standing by to take BOTH of you fly fishing and see if
good ole dad can be taught how to fly fish and catch something. Hopefully
your guide can find some place warm enough to fish.

You just might get more mileage out of having dad use the guide's equipment
and then recommending what he should buy. My guess is if dad is willing to
pony up the guide's fee, he'll seriously listen to what was said - not only
from the guide but you too! And this approach will let you test if good ole
dad really wants to reappear in your life or is just passing through.

What ever you decide to do, have good luck and a Merry Christmas!
John

A Dell - maybe you two can get reacquainted while posting silly-assed
trolls together...

Hope th...well, you know,
Dickie or Richie or whatever
...remember, you did say _any help_ would be appreciated...

yeah, with *help* being the operative word.......
anyway, it's christmas, i just finished another extremely successful
semester, and have a few other very nice things happening right now and
nothing you or forty can say could possibly bother me- so in the spirit of
the season-
kiss my ass ;-)

Well, geez, if you really needed some input, why didn't you just say
so...of course I'd be glad to help.

Since you and your father have been estranged, I'd think something by
Sage would be appropriate, but only if the estrangement was mutual. If
you didn't want the estrangement, but he did, then the Sage would still
be appropriate, but only in a 4, 5, or 8. If he didn't want the
estrangement, but you did, then a Sage would be a poor choice, and a TFO
or a Winston (but only in 5, 6, or 8) would be the only rational
choices. Now, if his reappearance appears to be permanent, then forgot
about 5s and 8s, as you will have to stick to either a 4 or 6, but if
his reappearance is temporary, I believe the rule is 3s, 5s, and
fast-action 7s. And don't forget to remind him of a cardinal rule of
fishing (fly or otherwise): if you intend to fish with drama queens,
think twice.

Hope THIS helps,
Dickie or Richy or whatever...
