May, may (hah!) work. I've been meaning to get back up there and will
need to use a little leave. Frank's planning on making it isn't he? He
never calls anymore now that he's a Husker

So, what with puttering around in the yard, cooking, a short road
trip, laundry, house cleaning and catching up a bit on long overdue
reading, I just now got around to reading that whole thread. My first
reaction was to come here and suggest that all of the participants
should be gutted and emasculated (in no particular order).

And then I got distracted and thought, "Hey, wait a minute, maybe I
should see about shipping some coal to Newcastle instead!"

illiterate censors but, for the obvious reasons, will forbear.

one of the things I have always found amusing on that particular
site(FAOL) is that the administrators/owners will gladly ram their opinion


My buddies and I had the misfortune of hosting the owners one June evening
in Michigan. I have never met a couple more full of themselves or their
fishing ability.

You haven't been fishing in Western Mass, have you? ;-)

Not since 1997, trying to fix it too.

Right now, I'm home courtesy of some bad roast beouf, so the thought
of the "goulash" makes me want to heave. Same way I get when I think
of the fly fishing opportunities in Nebraska.
I'll be at Penns this year.

well, we all feel that way about it, Frank, but damned if
it doesn't taste mighty fine after a few chilled beverages.
Like much cuisine, I simply try not to think of what goes
into it. Think "scrapple".

No excuses and no mishaps! Damn.....that sounds like
the same pitch I give to Asadi every year......g

Based on the location, I think that could be Paul Williamson - a nice guy
and great fly tyer, but very thin skinned. Some people find this looney
bin overwhelming, and some find it invigorating. One of those groups is
missing something.

one of the things I have always found amusing on that particular site(FAOL)
is that the administrators/owners will gladly ram their opinion regarding
God, politics or the military down the throats of their readers, but shun
controversy from the posters. I found that part rather repugnant......

I agree. Everyone on that site is so polite and afraid to step on the
toes of the owners/administrators that it sometimes seems to be a
fantasyland. The owners, however, have very strong opinions and, as
Tom notes, are not afraid to get up on the soapbox and rant. I
occasionally visit FAOL, and get the feeling I am on the "Stepford
Flyfishing Site".



I read the whole page. Not my sort of thing.

Brings to mind the oft repeated advice to look for something where one
last saw it. All well and good if one can recall what and where it
was.
