As near as I can tell I've been on ROFF longer than everyone
else (who posts regularly) except daytripper. I don't really fish much anymore since moving to the desert. (which is probably why I still read ROFF). Rather, a donkey, a mule, and a horse provide our more regular recreation these days, and hunting is helping fill the fishing voids. The best thing ROFF did for me was save me from being brainwashed into the catch and release "ethic". I had not kept a fish for a while when TimW started a few years of sometimes raucous discussion on C+R. I now heartily enjoy fresh fish when I can :-) Go to a clave if you get the chance. There's a lot of good people on ROFF. I went to the 2000 San Juan clave and met some really nice people, and I'm very sorry that I haven't been able to make the later San Juan claves. I'm still trying to figure out Willi's fascination with Fruit Loops. Bruiser if you are reading, I'm gettin' really close to *needing* a trip to the Penasco. Actually, this reminds me to send mail to a couple of guys down here to see if there up for it. As I recently mentioned, my #1 unfulfilled flyfishing dream is to catch a tarpon. My most realistic chance-to-be-fulfilled flyfishing wish right now is to fish the Green river. A friend down here came back last year with some awesome reports. A CWRUClave in Stanley would be way cool but we'd have to do some long range planning. Realistically I'd be looking at 2005 or 2006. Carp _can_ save the day. Jon. |

That wasn't my first post to roff, according to Google this one was: http://tinyurl.com/yubny I think Dave Bottom (flyfish) got one in on the first day, he still posts occasionally, Jon mentioned daytripper and of course TBone. -- Ken Fortenberry |
