Don't worry, it may pass with time. Their beauty may outweigh their
taste once you have had your fill. Still nice keeping one every now
and then to make you appreciate their taste though. ;-)

Yup, once I gave up spincasting, I was sure the first flyfisherman I ever
met who claimed to 'not eat fish' was just trying to be obtuse. He said that
he catches so many fish that eating them all is just not an option. He also
said that he actually didn't like the taste of fish. I couldn't believe it,
because eating what I caught seemed like the natural outcome, the whole
purpose of fishing. But now, even at my lower-intermediate level of skill, I
find that I almost never go fishing with the intent of eating what I catch;
its almost entirely for the sport of catching. And I catch a whole lot more
than I ever did before, too. I figure thats the real reason: flyfishing is
so much fun that I'd hate to have to quit just because I caught my dinner.
When I was spincasting, I caught so few fish that about the time I caught my
dinner, I was ready to quit.

Meanwhile, how did you cook your trout? There's a lot of gourmet trout chefs
hanging out here...

here's the short answer- i didn't


here's the long answer- take your pick, but if ya pick the long one, i don't
wanna hear any bitchin G


so, i was fishin yesterday at price lake, when a fella came and parked
himself at the fishin spot next to me. after abit we got to chatting, and
he gave me a few tips and a jar of power bait. after about an hour of
chatting ( i had already been fishing for two hours), the conversation
turned to the preparation and eating of trout, and i confessed that i had
never eaten it, and in fact don't eat much fish. he then insisted that i
must have a trout meal at a cafe in blowing rock called the speckeled trout,
and offered to buy me lunch. naturally, i hesitated, as i really didn't
know the man, and was hardly dressed to go out to eat. my hair was messy,
probably had power bait in it-(oops, there's that word agian g), i had mud
on my arms and filthy worm gutty fingernails. not a pretty picture, huh?
anyway, i figured this kind of stuff only happens in the movies, and
continued to hesitate, since this would be very uncharacteristic of me...,
but after he insisted again, i agreed to take him up on it. in an effort to
maintain control of the situation, i told him i would follow him into town
in my car. we settled in at the restaurant where i enjoyed a delicious
baked trout- more than, as it turned out- the conversation, during which i
was careful not to reveal anything about my stats that could allow this guy
to find me should he turn out to be a maniac. at the end of the meal he
said he was going to make one more stop before returning home to charlotte,
and did i want to join him. i gracefully declined as he handed me his
business card. he had the good grace not to ask for my phone number when i
didn't offer it, and after a handshake good-bye, the trout settled nicely in
my belly and the business card in the "circular file".
so, that's the long version. probably cyli will be more interested in it
than you boys.

Guy meets girl, guy takes girl out to dinner, guy makes a pass (very
mild and discreet in this case), girl wanders off. Yep.

The older you get, the less it happens. In many ways, that's a good
thing. I haven't had to do the 'escape from the refrigerator hold'
dance move in at least a decade at a party. Maybe a decade and a
half.

Until you get really old. Then, I understand from older relatives,
you run into them at the funerals and they move more slowly in the
'courtship' as well as physically. But beware the Senior Citizens
meetings. And most of Florida.

i know- drives my spellcheck crazy! i'm lazy about typing in this venue-
after i come back from a short evening attempt at fishing, i will embark on
writing my first paper for the new school semester, and i'm sure my bad
habit will make the process a little more difficult for me.
