until I get better at casting and get beyond wind knots,

Chittenden Bridge in August of 1971. I fly fish between 100 and 150
days/year.
Are you serious?! First things first - I don't care what anyone else
responds, I'm dead serious, I mean exactly what I ask and I'm honestly
asking:
Doesn't that get boring? I can't imagine spending that much of my life
doing any _one_ type of thing. OTOH, do you simply mean that on at
least 100 or so days a year for the last coupla-few years, you've
probably made at least one cast, or do you actually mean that you've
spent that many days _flyfishing_?
I'm still waiting to, totally, "get beyond wind knots" ....
good luck G
OK, now here's where I get lost - if I spent that much time doing
_anything_, - I mean that's something around 4000 days, or, over 10
****in' years, of solid FFing - I'd be a pro who could do it in my sleep
- which is why I'd never enjoy doing such. Obviously, your mileage DOES
vary, but still, I'm curious.
Yeah boy, your record here illustrates just how magnificent you are at
whatever you set your mind to.
