What's your favorite fly fishing book?
"Doug Kanter" wrote in message ... ...you *do* find the occasional gem in the rough. Although not related to fly fishing (except for a few knots), the book "Hook, Line & Sinker", by Gary Soucie, is an example of such a book. Thanks, Doug. I'll be looking for it. Wolfgang |

Well, it's not the book Wolfgang would write. It says a lot in few words. Russell Oh, yeah - :-) If I WERE ever to write a book (an extremely unlikely undertaking for someone with my attention span) I believe I would do so with the expectation that someone might some day read it.......hence, I would not write like I do here. :) Wolfgang |

"Doug Kanter" wrote... "Tim J." wrote... snipped everything but the OE tutorial Ya know, it's easy to set up OE so it does NOT discard messages you've read. Tell it to "watch" the conversations you're interested in. Then, sort the messages so the watched threads are always at the top of the list. Those threads will be red. When there are unread messages in those threads, they subject headers will be BOLD red. When you expand those threads, the unread messages will be bold, while the ones you've read will be in normal type. It's really a very uncluttered way of managing things. See, here's the thing: You may have been interested in the bickering, but I wasn't so why would I watch the thread? Then, when I see a random reply out of the blue, I think I might be missing something and I'd like to know the context. These here newsgroups are funny that way - the messages appear on ALL subscribers 'puters whether or not they have the "watch" flag set. Hence, it is just more courteous to include enough of the original message so we *all* know WTF is going on. -- Your skill-impaired friend, Tim ------------------------ http://css.sbcma.com/timj |

What's your favorite fly fishing book?
"Doug Kanter" wrote in message ... If you saw my post last week, looking for comments on beginner's fly fishing outfits, you know I'm about to take a class. I offered my 14 yr old son the opportunity to join me. He said he wants to learn, but not from a class. "You taught me how to fish - how about you teach me to use a fly rod?" Sometimes, arguing with a 14 yr old is like ****ing into the wind. He will, however, take a book to the bathroom for his daily "one hour on the throne". Anyone got a favorite book which explains tippets, knots, casting ideas, etc? If by chance your son is a Boy Scout, suggest that he takes the Fly Fishing Merit Badge. http://www.tu.org/conservation/youth/boy_scout_mb.asp http://www.bsaflyfishing.com/bsreqs.html Ron |
