Seriopusly, I know a fellow who has a camp on the Rapid and I understand that
it's marvelous, but still.............

Sorry to disillusian you, but I have made five trips to Labrador, and while the
fishing is fantastic for big brookies, they are no bigger than what the Rapid
has to offer. They may have *more* (and also more water), but a five pound
brookie in Labrador is the same as a five pounder in the Rapid. A friend
recently took a 9+ pounder from the river (on a dry fly, no less), and I have
taken many 4 and 5 pounders from the river in the past few years.

What is the name of your friend that has a camp on the Rapid?

heh heh - lessee here......yup, it's locked and loaded!

Shows you how little I know...I thought she was still dead. She sure did
tie
some cool streamers.

Stevens is to Fisher as fly tying is to Princess Leia.

Good point. There is no discernible relationship between Stevens and
Fisher, and there is none between fly tying and Princess Leia. Thus, it
naturally follows that Steven is to Fisher is to Fortenberry as fly tying is
to Princess Leia is to logic.

who notes the change in tactics. whereas it used to be the case that what
he THOUGHT was saying was just plain stupid and what he actually SAID was
true, now, what he THINKS he's saying is just plain stupid and what he's
actually SAYING is just plain stupid.
