Hi

Just visited this group to se if there where some interesting stuff
about flyfishing, but there doesnt seem to be much about that topic, how
odd :-)

Take care

Jakob
Jakob,
Not very odd at all.
Do you talk only about fly fishing with your fly fishing friends?
I'll bet not.

Think of ROFF as the pot bellied stove in the back of a fly shop with
a bunch of chairs around it. Fly fishers stop by from time to time and
pull up a chair to chew the fat but more than likely they will not
talk about fly fishing a lot. A bunch of folks will stand back away
from the stove, content to listen to the discussion but will offer a
comment once in a while. When they're not interested in the topic
they'll walk up front & test a rod or just leave & come back tomorrow,
as will many of the folks at the stove.
This is where fly fisher folk hang out when they are not fly fishing
to talk about all the issues that interest them and if a non-fishing
subject comes up they will talk/argue about it with the same fervor
they argue about the fly fishing topics.

Got a fly fishing question? Just ask and it will be answered.
Got a political comment? Just make it and, like most free ranging
discussion around this pot bellied stove, it will too be knocked about
and discussed.

You are a part of the crowd. Pull up a chair and make the discussion
what you want it to be.
