So if I come all the way out to Montana, to fish wity *you*, you won't
take
me to this mystery place? I'd never do that to you!


I he changes his mind, you want to borrow my GPS?

Lou T

Ok Lou, it's safe to say I'll borrow your *place finder* now, but don't let
on to Warren. I'd hate for him to back out on me, after I put on such a
show!

Op --that GpS thingy does come with 'structions, right?--

I can understand your boredom--happens to just about everyone; no one gives
a **** what I think, until they ask for my assistance (?); not to sure about
the "hypocrisy" part, as Lou and I were obviously playin'. Of course, some
folks do get a bit possessive with *their* streams, so if I never fish your
stream, I don't think it will kill me.

And Lou and I were joking around long before you got caught up in it.
I don't recall asking for any of your assistance and am not sure what
you meant by that. The truth of the matter is that I have taken
people from ROFF to several spots that I won't name here on ROFF and
am in the process of putting together my fourth conclave on a river
that I fish quite often. I have taken people whom I have never met
to some rather nice places, given them tips on other "out of the
way" places to fish, taken them on free float trips, etc just because
they were from ROFF. I have in the past even sent emails to people
who have posted inquiries to ROFF about fishing the rivers in my
area.

Since you didn't get the hypocrisy part, I'll try to explain it to
you. You have posted trip reports about streams that you won't even
name and then accuse me of being "possessive" of the waters I fish.

Here is yet another sample post.

Why not name the river Opie? Perhaps you are a little
"possessive"?????? ;-)

Personally, I don't think you are being possessive. I imagine that
it isn't an issue of you not taking people to that creek, it is just
that you would rather not broadcast the name of the creek to ROFF and
the world. I can understand and respect that because I do the same
thing for a few spots I know. This is what the joke between Lou and
I is about. He jokes around that he doesn't need to know the name
(even though he always gets it...) and that I can't get him "lost"
enough so that he will never find the place again because he will
have the GPS coordinates. The joke during meetings and telephone
calls spilled over to ROFF and you just got caught up in an inside
joke and have made some conclusions based upon the joke. I jokingly
said that I wouldn't take him there so he then offered you his GPS
and I responded as part of the joke that I decided not to take
anybody from ROFF there. Guess you still haven't understood that it
was a joke even after I said that I was playing around with Lou.

The whole situation is rather amusing to me because it seemed that
you were getting a little touchy about it. You even became
hypocritical IMO by calling me possessive when you won't even post
the name of certain waters you fish.

I knew that and was abit taken aback with the "yawn." I understand that
folks feel the need to hide waters that they fish, however, I don't.

Nope that weren't it either, and I doubt that you will find another post
from me where I try to hide a fishin' spot. Sure you might find one about
Upper Creek, but it is always in jest, as I have posted about Upper Creek
many times in the past. I'll let Uncle Wally tell ya why I wouldn't post
the name of that stream, as it wouldn't bother me in the least to post it.

Guess you still haven't understood that it
was a joke even after I said that I was playing around with Lou.

Naw, figured that y'all were messin' with one another, that's why the whole
"yawn" and "hypocrisy" thing kinda got to me. Anyway, y'all play nice out
West and I'll stick to my nice little eastern streams.

Why would the yawn take you aback? All it was meant to be was a sort
of "rolling of the eyes" kind of response. It was basically meant as
"Your (fake) whine and sigh are having no affect on me."

BTW, I don't need to hide my waters, I just do it in jest too. g

And I have posted about the Madison, Gallatin, Yellowstone and
several other places in the past. As far as finding more posts, I
found several.... Unfortunately I have no idea of where you are
talking about since you didn't mention them by their real name or a
name at all in a few. You could have been "jesting" and claim that
you were talking about Upper Creek or wherever and I wouldn't know
the difference. Whatever your reasons, it is of no great concern to
me and just seemed rather amusing during the exchanges we had going.

Naw, figured that y'all were messin' with one another, that's why the whole
"yawn" and "hypocrisy" thing kinda got to me.

What kind of got to me was the insinuation that I don't take my
fellow clavesters to the good places that I know because I am too
"possessive." It is simply not true and I have paid the price for it
in the past. I had two good friends and fishing buddies get upset
when I hosted the first Madison Conclave because I took some people
over to the Beaverhead (some big secret huh?) and didn't talk to him
much or fish with him at all for about two years. He got so ****ed
when I took people at the Yellowstone Clave the following summer up
to Slough Creek (another big secret I guess) that he cut off all
communication until late this past summer. The other friend was a
little miffed that I took some people up to "the Grinder."
Thankfully nobody got miffed when I took people to the big brookie
lake during the HF clave.....

Anyway, y'all play nice out
West and I'll stick to my nice little eastern streams.

We usually place nice. Even George and the Pirate were well-behaved
and civil to each other during the HF Clave. I'll make sure to take
some pics so Jeffie can show you where I took him and was hoping to
show you. But since you aren't coming, I am sure I can talk Lou into
going so that he can send you GPS coordinates. g

Such is life, I guess this medium weren't meant for us thin skinned fellers.

This medium does sometimes make screwing around difficult since we
cannot see the nonverbal forms of communication that people usually
use when joking. It is, unfortunately, often far too easy to take
something a different way than was originally intended and little
misunderstandings like this happen. Oh well, live and learn; forgive
and forget.

Now back to putting in some more insulation in the attic....... This
old house is drafty and won't keep warm! Maybe it being two below
outside right now has something to do with it too. ;-)

Why in the Hell would you publicize your favorite, uncrowded,

My favorite uncrowded undiscovered spot on the internet is:

I see no reason, let alone a good one, to keep it a secret. I think that's
just selfish.
