I'll do it as you offered, and do it with a conventional fly rod - heck,
some special rod isn't necessary anyway. What's your idea of "big
bucks" - $50,000.00 US dollars? $10,000.00 US dollars? How many US
dollars do you consider "big bucks?"


Ok, Richard. Maine, the Rapid River, last week in May. Show up. Big
bucks would be $100. And we were talking about nymphing. You nymph
with a 5 or 6 weight, not a 12 weight salt water rod, and not a spey
rod. Five or six weight. Show up. I'll be there. BTW, you could
cast a nymph more than 60 feet WITH a spey rod, but most (all?) of us
nymph with 5 or 6 weights. Some even 4 weights. And, I'm betting
that you could cast a nymph more than 60 feet with a 12 weight without
false casting.

Come on.

I've always wanted to meet you anyway, but having been to Mississippi
and Louisiana after Katrina, have no interest whatsoever of returning.
Do hope you understand, bucko.
