Just restart itfrom your desktop. You can also break off some of the
fish if you use only 6x tippet. 17"er so far.

How were the takes, the fights, the heft of the living creatures in your
hand...?

No offense (honestly), and at the risk of calling down upon my humorless
head the wrath of the roffraff, and admittedly without even having
looked at the thang in question, I ask: what's the deal here? Bad,
fair, good, better..... any computer game is, by its nature (a
simulation), everything that fly fishing ain't and nothing that fly
fishing is.

No.... but it's FUN.

Good. As long as folks are playing it they won't be cluttering up the
rivers.

Curmudgeonly yours,

Indeed, in some of the other "rivers" in the full version,
there are fish that'll break you off on 2X... :-)

FWIW, it *is* fun! You can only get to the next river
by completing a task list (ex. catch a 5 lb. brown and a 5 lb.
rainbow), and each river is progressively more difficult to
fish. The simulation seems pretty realistic as far as
fish behaviour (indeed, they can be quite selective, for
example, and one can *usually* catch bigger fish during
a hatch by nymphing, etc.). Takes a bit to get used to
"casting" with the mouse. In the last scenario, the wind
blows most of the time at 10-15 mph at frustrating angles.
Part of the final task list is to catch a 10 lb. fish. I've
hooked it several times, but always get broken off. The fish
in that scenario are "well educated", and it's often a
challenge just to catch *one*, regardless of size.

Probably the most frustrating thing is that you're
confined to one bank. Would be easier to be able to wade
out and get a better angle at times. You can also hang
yourself up on the back cast.

In your fly box, you only get three of each pattern,
and if you lose them, you're SOL. You *can* wing it with
similar patterns, but they won't take nearly as well.

Good way to kill some time when it's been raining
and your favourite water is blown out. :-) On the other
hand, I agree it's *no* replacement for the real thing,
but it's (sometimes maddeningly) fun! :-)

Sounds good. I had something similar, a
friend doing an open mike at a bar and half
the people there related. I'm pretty sure
that most of the music wasn't up to what
you heard, tho. I wish more people around
here were into bluegrass.

bzzzzt- wrong answer-

all kidding aside-
bluegrass, traditional, celtic- i love it all. and when a group of people
come together, each contributing their own part, and really make music,
especially music that you can *feel*- well, there's really nothing quite
like it. it's a very special, and satisfying experience.

Money may have something to do with that
phenomenon.

i thought about that, and posed the question to my son. i contended that it
wasn't about money because those women have plenty of their own, to which he

i too have similar memories. i have very few of my father, since he became
absent from my life at a very early age, but i do remember him sitting
around playing his guitar, and singing hank williams, george jones, willy
nelson, etc. these were my favorite times with him, and like i said, just
about all i remember-at least with fondness.
the same was true of my maternal grandfather. he'd sit in the kitchen while
granny was cooking, and pick and sing. i'm told i was his favorite- maybe i
had the best appreciation for hi music, and maybe that's why. anyway, i
loved it when he sang and played. in fact that's how he died- sitting on a
stool in the kitchen doorway picking and singin when he fell over from a
stroke, while we sat around him, and granny was cookin.
to this day, i am a sucker for a man with a guitar, and a voice........
