But it's great for those of us who haven't the time or the patience or
the talent or, in my case, much interest, in tying their own flies.
If I had to tie my own flies in order to fly fish, I'd hand over my
KPOS rods to my boss and my one buddy who fly fishes and go right back
to spinning gear. Or even plug casting. I won't say I'd go to bait
fishing or trolling, but it'd be about the same for me as those
would. (not a slam at bait fishers, btw, I just don't like to do it.
(and, yes, I do know how to put on a worm or a minnow and have done
it.))

I bait fish quite often, amd I like a bit of spinning and plugging, or even
jigging, now and again.( Or to be more precise, I did up until a while ago).
I do not consider fly-fishimg to be the "Holy Grail" it is merely another
extremely enjoyable means of fishing, which I enjoy in all its forms.

Anybody can tie flies which will catch fish. The main prerequisite, is not
to believe any of the ( in the meantime extremely widespread and vociferous)
gurus, who would have you think differently. Or indeed not think at all.

There is no reason why you should not buy them either, but preferably not
from some faceless conglomerate of manufacturers who neither know nor care
what they are, or what they represent, and merely see them as a means of
making money.

As for KPOS rods or similar. Any one of these rods, including the worst
possible one you could find, is a thousand times better than the ones I, and
many others, started fishing with, and occasionally still do.

Then as now, the fish could not care less. A good angler will catch fish
whatever he uses, and he probably wont care much either. It is nice to have
top quality expensive gear, but it is certainly not necessary.

Amazingly enough, it is quite nice to be "back". I can´t imagine why
really! I seem to have caught the beginnings of "cabin fever season"
anyway, so at least it should be fun !!!!

But thanks to you and others for the welcome!

I was not suggesting you rape anybody, even if there are six of them
attacking you! Just lie back and think of Usenet! ( Although it might be
best to avoid thoughts of ROFF). There is nothing rational about these
things anyway.

On second thoughts, it might be good to think of ROFF, not much rational
here either!

Hope I did not misinterpret anything?

Congrats on the job by the way!

Regarding the notebook. If you have to think much about it, or are not sure
what you need, you don´t need it! Wait a week, gather information, and
possibly save your money for something else which you do need.

For most "private" individuals, a notebook is just another load of heavy
high tech junk they have to carry around. For some it may be extremely
useful, for most it is just a waste of money.

Which reminds me of a little story!

Some time ago, I was giving a bloke a casting lesson, or at least I was
attempting to. His mobile phone kept "beeping" every five minutes or so,
thus interrupting the whole thing.

After about half an hour, and at least five phone calls, (not to mention the
text messages), he turned to me and said " What do you think? Any major
technical problems?"

"Yes" I said. "The F****** telephone!".

I should be so lucky as to be attacked by even one woman!

No sir, not at all. Though I am still curious about that word. Couldn't
find it in any of them work books?

Congrats on the job by the way!

Thank you sir!

You are likely right. However, I need a system of my own, as I gave mother
my system, when I went truckin'. Can't very well take it back
now.....................or can I?

1600 buck would buy a nice rod and a couple of flyz. d:~^O

Op --and tight lines to you sir!--

If you need a system, then buy a good desktop. Cheaper, and considerably
more powerful than any notebook.

Eruieren = A derivative of "erudition". To conclude based on ( profound )
knowledge. The word is common in German, but it is also used in English.

Because that is not fly-tying, it is fly-manufacture. Flydressing is an
integral part of the flyfishing experience for many, and this is one of
the
things which makes it great.

Indeed. I began learning to tie at about the same time I began
flyfishing. The
pleasure I derive from the fishing would be greatly diminished if I
fished with
store bought flies.

But it's great for those of us who haven't the time or the patience or
the talent or, in my case, much interest, in tying their own flies.
If I had to tie my own flies in order to fly fish, I'd hand over my
KPOS rods to my boss and my one buddy who fly fishes and go right back
to spinning gear.

Cyli: are you Sedona? I'm seriously considering a year off back home, in
Flag, and if so, maybe we can hook up and do some fishing. I bet if I
brought some tying gear down and helped you tie up something managable that
caught a few fish, you discover why so many fishermen tie their own flies.
I've only been at it for about a year, and now there are a handful of
patterns I use that I will never purchase. I still have to buy some of the
more complex ones, though, and I expect I always will.
