Hell, when my wife dragged me to this state I didn't even know a trout
existed within its borders. Having lived my whole life up until now in
places where I never lived more than a mile from a great trout stream
(Yampa in Colorado and Tonsina, Gulkana, and Klutina in
Alaska...tributaries of the Copper), I have had to adjust my
standards. So I get ****y when people get righteous about what
qualifies as a "fish" or what good fishing is. As soon as I stopped
bitching about being here and started figuring out what opportunities
existed, it's been good.
If anyone here is guilty of righteous "fishism" it's you and Guy.
In elevating the trout, even flaccid, stupid, phony trout, to some
revered status you're dissing some really fine fly fishing right
in your own backyard.

I fish for trout because trout live in beautiful places. Trout
fishing for me is as much about the gorgeous places it takes me
as about the fish itself.

As for that "****y" thing you've got going, try Midol.

I agree about enjoying the beautiful places that trout fishing can
take you...but you could go wipe your candy ass in any of those places
as well as fish it, so it does have something to do with the fish or
fishing at least. ...

What you call "candy ass" I refer to as "conservative wading".
Ken's cardinal rule of wet wading: "Thou shalt at all times
keepeth dry thy family jewels". But you're not the first one
to call it candy ass although you're the only one to do so
without first having fished with my candy ass. What I'm saying
about beautiful places is that if carp lived there, I'd fish
for carp.

I think you meant I should try Preparation H because what's making me
****y is a pain in my ass

Too much information, *WAY* too much information. Please keep
your rectal problems to yourself.
