Interesting. Hunter S. Thompson never had that problem.

Now hang on a second - are you claiming that he _NEVER_, not even once,
had that problem, or just not of which you are personally aware, or ???
Oh, wait...is this something they say everyone says?

Dang, it must be that Garrison-Keillor-meets-Shecky-Greene delivery of
his..."Today, um, today is an another of, aah, those oh-so-warm evenings
here in pretty little Lake Bournebegone, where all the folks are damp,
but cheerful, and the cats and dogs always have a smile for Mr.
Boudreaux, the postman. Today, however, is a somewhat somber day here
in Lake Bournebegone because little Timmy Beauchamp and several of his
classmates have drowned...AND IT'S THE FAULT OF SOME ****ER NAMED
LEVY!!! AAHHHHH!!!! AND GEORGE BUSH!!! ARRRGGGH!!!" Oh, wait, that's
Garrison-Keillor-meets-Sam-Kinison...

Yeah, but the public can walk right in. Eventually, they, too, can be
part of the private party. If they care to, after observing it...

No, you're right - I haven't been on this group long, and was wondering why
this was on a fishing board.


Almost everything can be and often is. First of all, it's UseNet.
Second, it's an unmoderated group. Third, most of these guys are long
term users here and have covered pretty much everything there is to
say about flyfishing, so they get bored.

However, I have found much more information here on fish and waters
than I have in any other group, so, even though I was a spinner when I
crept quietly in a few years ago, I've learned a lot about fish and
fishing, done a couple of Claves, met some nice people, and enjoyed
participating in the group. And now have fly gear as well as spinning
gear.

I see! - not sure if I want to do too much politics though . Life's too
short and there's enough crap out there without the need for me to go
looking for/creating ill feeling here as well (imho).

re. starting off spinning, ditto - I used to take hundreds of trout (quite
literally - 117 on one occasion!)on a little black and gold abu toby. I
created a fly based upon it, but Brian (the fishery owner)wouldn't let me
use it :-

I'm not sure it would have casted too well anyway.

By the way, what's a clave?
