Op, I wonder if this person has a passing familiarity with somebody we
used
to know as "deepfry." Kissing cousins?
Bob

Naw, Deeply Fried was a shootin' star, IMMHO, and didn't even have to
cajones to show-up at the 'clave with his buddies, in Oct, as threatened.
Lord knows we get enuff trolls around here to gag a maggot, but I will
attempt to be engagin' until one is *officially* outted as a Hobbits worst
enemy. Especially, if I think I might have a shot at a future fishin'
buddy/buddet/SWMBO!

Op --So when we gonna get
together.......................................... ......and fish of
course?--

You are NOT a nice person.

He's agree, most likely.

How many people out here had questions about what sized line/reel/rod
to use? Probably a lot.

Yes, many have, but most weren't already set up to go on a flyfishin'
excursion, before they knew anything about flyfishin'.

Actually I have fly fished many times before, I am just still a novice
(ok probably intermedate). I have caught trout, half pound steelhead
and salmon before but am still at the intermediate/novice level.

My equipment was not very expensive, sth and okuma reels are only
about $30 - $40, several of the rods were handed down.

In that case, Katie, you're probably more knowledgeable than many of the
self-styled experts here.

BTW, ignore Fortenberry. He gets his rocks off by insulting ROFF
newbies. It's predictable.

Well, if you have caught steelhead and salmon, and still consider yourself a
novice, I don't know what to call myself--though I wouldn't come, if I
called myself, anyway.

about $30 - $40, several of the rods were handed down.

Expensive is really a relative term. I imagine that those hand-me-downs are
priceless, regardless of value.

Anyway, hang-in here. ROFF ain't such a bad place to learn and carouse, if
ya like that sorta thing and have a thick skin.

Then something is missing. How could you have "fly fished many times before" if
you don't "know the basics of rod weights, reel weights, and line weights" or
know what "turn over a fly" means? Inquiring minds want to know.

Quite a serious troll there...

How was this a troll? Or off putting? I do not see how it is either
a troll or off putting.

You claim to own thousands of dollars worth of high quality fly fishing
equipment yet profess to know nothing of the sport.


You are NOT a nice person.


Ken is the newsgroup asshole. Just ignore him.

1) I did not say I know nothing, I said I am a beginner. I said I own
"thousands of dollrs worth of high quality fly fishing equipment"?
Let me quote what I said:

"I have several reels going from a hardy lrc lightweight all the way
up
to a okuma 7-9 weight. (and a
6-8 weight and a sth #2 and a sth #3, the #2 about a 6 weight and the
#3 about a 8 weight)
I have rods going from a 6 weight glass to a tfo 9 weight. I have
lines going from a 6 weight
floating to a 8 weight floating, and just recently bought a sized 2
intermediate orvis floating
line. "

The hardy is a hand me down from my grandfather. You can get one for
about $200 new. The okuma 7-9 weight? About $40. The sth #2 and #3?
About $50. The sized 2 intermediate orvis line was $10 from sierra
trading post. The tfo was about $89. Several of the 6, 6/7, 8 wegiht
rods including the fiberglass are probably worth about $25 and were
hand me downs from my grandfather.

What kind of asshole calls a post asking simple questions a troll? A
troll is when someone makes a inflamatory post trying to get people to
reply. What was inflamatory? I think you are a lot closer to a troll
than I am.

Damn she gave it to Ken good.
