Well, taking into consideration that you are obviously an idiot, I am
bound to assume that the best way to deal with you is to ignore you.
Well done, I usually wait for a couple of posts, in order to determine
whether what some people write is merely a temporary lapse of good
sense and judgement, or a permanent aberration.

Congratulations, you are on the ignore list almost immediately.

Push and pull, Rick. Twist and twirl. Watch the Mikey Monkey jump.

Count your blessings, Rich. If only Fortenberry, Richard, Wolfgang,
me, et al were on his ignore list.

Errr.... Wolfgang is not on my ignore list, or my **** list. I may
not agree with him on some things, and he may not agree with me. That
´s about the extent of it. He does not post a lot of ridiculous ****
all the time. Screwing up every single thread with some ridiculous and
totally pointless personal agenda, like you and your halfwitted
cronies.

You are so confused by your hatred for me, that you have lost all
sense and decorum. It has got to the stage where even people who liked
and respected you before, just think you are a pathetic old windbag
who has lost his marbles.

It does not matter what you post. I hate to repeat myself, but the
people who take my advice on these matters know it works, and they
could not care less about your ranting. You can´t even get the guy´s
name right, you are ostensibly "supporting", he signs his posts
"Rick".

Maybe a Freudian slip?

Whatever you write has no effect on me, it merely makes you look more
stupid.

Even assuming that what you and your idiot allies write about my
character was even remotely true,it would not make any difference to
the people who take my correct advice. They want correct advice, they
don´t much care where it comes from.

It is impossible to catch and release a wild fish.

That is basically an ethical standpoint, and although I agree with
most of it, it is a personal view.

.... this is a case of not knowing your moral ass from your ethical elbow.

3. Although such fish may appear outwardly similar to wild fish,
after a period in suitable conditions, they do not behave like wild
fish. In many cases being almost tame, and can be caught easily using
various tricks, or completely outlandish concoctions such as power
bait, to which they have been accustomed artificailly. They may also
be easily caught using crushed trout pellets. Many of the flies used
to catch such fish have no counterparts in nature, and are taken by
the fish mainly as a result of their extreme conditioning during
rearing to react to food items in a particular manner. They have been
been conditioned to do so, and rarely possess even a fraction of the
wariness of wild fish. Especialy when in shoals, which they often
maintain until they are caught or die, they are extremely competitive.

This is simply wrong. I have fished for stockers and had a great time
catching 20 plus fish on a dry. The fight aint so great, but catching a
bunch on dry flies sure is. I have caught newly planted fish on dry
flies and nymphs.

Nothing His Loony Mikeness posts is ever "simply" wrong.
He never uses one word when forty grandiloquent words will
do. But in this case I agree with him. Some stockers can
be caught with pellets and most stockers are not as wary
as wild fish. I don't doubt your anecdote but that doesn't
disprove what His Loony Mikeness is saying here.

F'n elitists. How many people would get to fish for trout if only wild
stock were available?

I absolutely agree that they are not as wary, they have been in
captivity and feed by humans. And just *sitting* in a pond doesnt do
much for their muscles or fighting ability.

One thing I can say about stockers is at least in california, fish
hatchery's have gotten smart and started feeding them shrimp so they
have a beautiful red streak and pink meat.
