The time presumably will be august 2. to august 10. From Roger you will get more information. OsmoJ |

link.net... I see posts regarding Swedish Clave, have some FF miles to burn in a worthy pursuit. Destination water and dates info would be appreciated. Best Regards, Jerry Brandenburg Jerry, The same river as last years clave, river Laisan, only 100 kilometers further into the mountains. We will rent a Saami cabin located in the area. The cabin is located 500 meters from the river and has 5 beds, a kitchen and a sauna. The cabin will do fine as a meeting place and a place for attendes from far away to live. The rest of us will have to live in a tent. We have several extra tents. We will all be sharing the cost for the cabin as we will be using it for a meeting place. The idea is to fish in three waters; River Laisan (brown trout only), Hurrasjokk creek (brown trout only) and Blassajaure lake (Arctic char and brown trout). We're not likely to meet any other people, but in worst case there will still be more than 60 kilometers of running water and two lakes on the permit (actually two dozen more trout and char waters if you don't mind walking). We will be flying with a helicopter from Adolfstrom village. If we can get 10 attendes, the sum total for this trip (with food, permit and gas costs) leaving from Umea in north Sweden will be approx US$350. You will have to plan for a week since we won't be able to have the helicopter fly back and forth at will. August 2 - August 10. If three or more can decide on other dates then you should be able to share a helicopter and make it anything in between these dates. Attendees so far: Vaughan Hurry (Tent) Fred Risberg (Tent) Roger Ohlund (Tent) Jarmo Hurri (Tent) Jerome Phillipon (aka Leaping frog, gets a bed in the cabin) Myron Buck (aka riverman, gets a bed in the cabin) Erik Risberg (Tent) Mike Connor (Tent) Interested: Dave LaCourse Osmo Jauhiainen Hans Bock Jeff Miller John (asadi) If you want more information go to the web site and find my email under contact info. Here are some maps describing the area. Map1 shows where in Sweden we're going to be: http://biphome.spray.se/salmo/ROFF/clave2004/Map1.jpg Map2 shows where the road ends at Adolfstrom village and also where the clave central is: http://biphome.spray.se/salmo/ROFF/clave2004/Map2.jpg The flight will be just less than 20 kilometers. Map3 shows the clave central and the surrounding area. http://biphome.spray.se/salmo/ROFF/clave2004/Map3.jpg The distance from the cabin to the river is slightly more than 500 meters. There's a fresh water spring 20 meters from the cabin. The lake just north of the cabin holds Arctic char and brown trout. -- / Roger Daytime engineer Lifetime fly fisherman If you feel like it, visit http://www.imsoc.se/angler/ for info on fly fishing in northern Sweden, Lapland, or visit http://www.imsoc.se/ffgallery/ , the fly fishermen's gallery. |

The thought has passed through my little brain, but I understand you have to have all of your equipment sanitized because of whirling disease. Seems a bother. I made it onto someone's mailing list, probably from one of the local fly shows, and I get a calendar and literature from a fishing club in Iceland.

If you behave in a foolish, mean, or dishonest fashion, or engage in gratuitous personal attacks for whatever arcane reasons of your own, it affects others perceptions of you as well. I have no wish to even meet you, let alone fish with you. It would be entirely too unpleasant. Fortunately, I can decide with whom I fish or socialise, as I see fit, and I would not be so hypocritical as to do it with somebody I did not like, or had a very bad impression of. For the record, I do not hate anybody, and never have. It would be an entirely pointless and doubtless self-destructive exercise. MC |

IMHO, of course. ;-) -- Ken Fortenberry Your opinion might be a great number of things, but humble it is not. ( Or was that "Honest"?). I would fish with Jeff Miller. In fact, I would be grateful for the opportunity, (and there are others here, of whom I think the same), and I would be honoured to have him as a guest in my home. I would "even" ( actually I would probably enjoy it) fish with you, knowing perfectly well that you are an impossible arsehole. ( Hopefully you keep your "Schandmaul" shut when you are fishing at least, not that that would bother me much either:)): I have never known you to be dishonest. A bit ( a lot!) "over the top" occasionally, but I donīt mind that. Thatīs how you are. I have never claimed to possess, or be, anything at all. If you donīt like it, then **** your rotten luck. I am what I am. Mr. LaCourse unfortunately tends to hang his flag in whatever direction the wind happens to be blowing, and is occasionally amazingly ****ing stupid to boot. You are often an arsehole, ( Mostly in fact. Probably the result of long and arduous practice.), but I have not yet seen you being particularly stupid ( unless one views "arseholeness" as stupidity per se). Quite the reverse. I get the impression that a lot of you donīt take much of this seriously at all, it is all a big ****ing joke, and not important at all., ( Itīs only Usenet!).For some of us it is. We take it seriously , and expect to be taken seriously in return. It may even be a "Europe/America" thing. In the meantime, I really donīt know. For instance, I have thought a lot about Mark Bowen recently, he is more than likely devastated at the turn of events here. Most unfortunate. I will bet you a pound to a pinch of pig**** that he is bewildered, and injured. Although that may well have not been your, or anybody elseīs, real intenion. Whatever, I do what I do, and think what I think. If you donīt like it, well, thatīs tough, but mainly for you. When I fish, I donīt need any company, but if I have any, then it should be congenial. My attitude to ROFF is much the same. I donīt need any aggravation, that is not why I am here, but if anybody really wants some, I am usually more than willing to oblige, up to a point at least, beyond which, things merely become silly. Finally , there is no way I am going to drive a couple of thousand kilometers, merely to be confronted with some dumb arsehole who went out of his way to annoy me. I would not do it if you paid me. If people canīt behave themselves on here, then it is most unlikely that they will behave themselves anywhere else. I have no wish to discover first hand if that is so, and the unpleasantness which has already occurred, effectively prevents me from even making the attempt. TL MC |

Consider that the overwhelming majority of people at the clave are your friends, and will sorely notice your absence. :-( --riverman Most unfortunate I agree. Even though Mr. LaCourse has apparently decided not to attend, I still can not do so, as it would now be a shabby thing to do. It would appear that I "forced" him to pull out. These things overshadow and poison everything. Bloody nuisance as well, as I already bought a tent and one or two other things. Serves me right for being too precipitate. I ought to know better by now. Doubtless the kids down the road will have fun with the stuff. I gave it to them this morning, and they were very enthusiastic. Indeed, as a result of events here, I will never attend another ROFF clave, irrespective of location or opportunity. I simply would not feel comfortable. Too much has been said. There is no way I would fish with people who have wilfully denigrated, insulted, and annoyed me, and fishing with others who have heard all this would not be exactly pleasant either. Some of the mud invariably sticks, no matter what one does. I even get people asking about it on other boards. All this basically stems from Gehrke of course. His legacy, as it were. He really did a fine job of contaminating this place. I donīt wish people to think that I am "bringing pressure to bear"on clavers, or anything like that, I just donīt want to do it any more, and that is the end of that. My house is always open to any civil person who would like to fish with me, or tie flies, or build rods, have a drink and a natter, etc etc. But it is not open to dumb arseholes, and I have no wish to meet them elsewhere either. Perhaps some people will learn from this, that what they do here is indeed real, and affects real people in a real world. In the meantime, I have become inured to the barracking from various quarters on here. It seems my severest "crime", which my apparently cretinous opponents, incapable as they are of even remotely civil discourse, bring up at every opportunity, is leaving ROFF, and then returning! They would not recognise ethics or honesty if it bit them in the rear, as it invariably will. Every post I send annoys them even more it seems. Good! Serves them right. I hope to be here for a very long time yet, so they better get used to it. TL MC |

I have also fished quite a few places here in Europe, but nowadays, inasmuch as I have been fishing at all in the last couple of years, it has been in Denmark, Sweden, a few local rivers, and the Baltic Sea. Right now, I am considering selling up here, and moving to Ireland, or Wales, or perhaps even Denmark. Although nothing is finally decided. Have to do a lot more research first. I only came to Germany in the first place because of my wife, and there is nothing much keeping me here now. Over the years, one accumulates an incredible amount of "stuff". No idea what I would do with most of it, Have to give or throw it away I suppose, and I would lose a lot of money as a result. Property prices are also not exactly brilliant here right now either, and my house would not bring any vast sum. Also, although often lonely of course, and the fishing not exactly brilliant, I am pretty comfortable here. I have all the usual creature comforts, and it is very hard to make the decision to start anew somewhere else. Still considering. Wherever I end up, you would be most welcome. TL MC |

Wherever I end up, you would be most welcome. when i was younger, before buying a home, i enjoyed and even looked forward to changing residences every few years. i found it invigorating (esp. the packing and hauling g). admittedly, my moves did not involve significant geography, certainly nothing like you've contemplated. ironically, now that i'm relatively and selfishly certain of a place i'd like to live the remainder of my years, i'm unable to move to that place because of circumstances i cannot control or avoid. the move would be most uncomfortable and uncertain, but i think that is part of the adventure. anyway, given your perceptive and capable nature, i've no doubt you will succeed in being comfortable in any surroundings you choose. likewise, i hope you know you'll have a friend's welcome if you ever decide to venture to this side of the atlantic. in any event, i mentioned scotland because a friend suggested it as a place he'd want to go fishing. after looking at some of the scotland streams, lochs, and landscapes on the web, i had a wild thought of fishing over there. looks pleasant. but, it's likely just another of this old man's picaresque fantasies... jeff jeff |

I think you'll need it more than I. -- My most humble apologies, I was not aware that you were expressing an opinion, or even that you had one. Why do I get the feeling that your good wishes are insincere? Probably a result of my outrageous unreasonableness. Regarding humility: "What kills a skunk is the publicity it gives itself". ~Abraham Lincoln "The humbleness of a warrior is not the humbleness of the beggar. The warrior lowers his head to no one, but at the same time, he doesn't permit anyone to lower his head to him. The beggar, on the other hand, falls to his knees at the drop of a hat and scrapes the floor to anyone he deems to be higher; but at the same time, he demands that someone lower than him scrape the floor for him." ~ Carlos Castaneda Excessive Humility is a sign of a scoundrel. ~ Hindu proverb If man makes himself a worm he must not complain when he is trodden on. ~ Immanuel Kant From William Wordsworth Written in Early Spring I heard a thousand blended notes While in a grove I sate reclined, In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts Bring sad thoughts to the mind. To her fair works did Nature link The human soul that through me ran; And much it grieved my heart to think What Man has made of Man. Through primrose tufts, in that sweet bower, The periwinkle trail'd its wreaths; And 'tis my faith that every flower Enjoys the air it breathes. The birds around me hopp'd and play'd, Their thoughts I cannot measure,- But the least motion which they made It seem'd a thrill of pleasure. The budding twigs spread out their fan To catch the breezy air; And I must think, do all I can, That there was pleasure there. If this belief from heaven be sent, If such be Nature's holy plan, Have I not reason to lament What Man has made of Man? TL MC |
