Work, that is not fly fishing and guiding in a fly fishermans paradise for a
living, whilst hanging out in a lodge with 12,000 bottles of wine and
designing huge, radioactive cicada flies for Umpqua, is over rated.

Frank,

Thanks for clarifying that, you knew exactly what I meant.

Guess my humor gets lost in translation sometimes, apologies if my remark

Not off base, right on target. I am jealous of my long-lost adopted, 1/100
brother's life with some of the best fishing to be found seriously south of
the Mason-Dixon line.

The things I enjoy most are my running my dogs after roosters (Pheasants)
and showing people how to fish our waters... It's school holidays here at
the moment and have my kids staying... They are helping me get my dogs
ready for a field trial this coming weekend and later in the week I am
taking them out to try and get them their first trout. I don't get to see
them often so it's a bit of buzz.

The best thing about the fishing, hunting and things i have in my life is
not enjoying them for themselves but sharing them. I guess that probably
sounds trite, but it's exactly how I feel.

That and the fact that the only thing more southern than me is penguins
(He says typing this wearing a "Billy Bob's" hat!)

True story. I often feel the same way and have a hard time
describing that feeling. It is kind of like getting your kid
into their first fish, or any fish for that matter. You are
happy because you get to share an experience that has brought
you so much joy in the past, but also take a little bit of
"pride" in getting that person into fish too. It is sort of
like vicariously fishing through another and being able to
share the happiness, but also experience it through them at
the same time.

No worries mate. The humor wasn't lost to begin with. This was
clearly all in good fun.
