Brewing’s about it anymore, and I don’t get as much time to do that as I’d like. I used to love photography, especially sports photography. I used to go to hockey games alot and take pictures of the players. I live in Philadelphia. I have an autographed 8 x 10 that I took of Flyers goalie Pelle Lindbergh that may actually be the very last autograph he ever signed before he died. I wish I could prove it. I caught him outside the stadium right after the last game he played, which was against Washington. He signed the picture, then I watched him get in his car, and I heard the next morning he was dead. I also have lots of old hockey, baseball, and football cards. Aside from beer, I also make some wine, but mostly just from kits. I like to cook, and make bread. Actually made bread before I made beer. Would like to try making cheese at some point. It all seems to go toghether. I always wanted to learn to make desserts, like cakes and stuff. Bill

Just *do* you cook a train? :0) I’m hoping to swing by Valley Park, MO on this summer’s vacation to see the "Whittle Shortline" folks and their wooden trains. My son’s not old enough for highly scaled N gauge yet.

I know this is not flyfishing related but I also know that there is a vast pool of knowledge here that is hard to find anywhere else. I purchased an Orvis 350 open faced spinning reel at an estate sale today. Can any of you fine posters let me know what I have, value, collectability etc. Thanks Cooper

Try the new Magellan 320 Fisherman. It is handheld, and has all the buoys, lights, and fixed navaids. It is great for a small boat that stays near the coast, and is very reasonable in price. I fish a lot, and use it as a back up on my big boat and just use it alone on my 16 foot and 14 foot boats. — Red Rider (J-V-B Triangle) We Shoot For Accuracy "I may have a bad memory, but I have over 39 years of diaries, log books and notes".

Thanks for the spelling lesson. At some point you agreed that you were guilty of the very act that you are trying to correct. Yes, in other words you saw the shit, and you went up to it and firmly planted your two feet right in the middle. Yes, am I correct here? I too, saw the same shit, and it had a foul smell, so I walked around it and now it’s on your boots and not mine. It is strange how we choose our pathways in life. I’m not perfect mind you. This is the third winter that I’ve hung here and every winter it is the same thing. Tempers start getting hot and the rhetoric gets heated on one or more issues. You and I are blessed the we have mild winters compared to some of the others in the group. Even the lack of real sunshine can have a dreary effect on the soul. The best way to avoid a fight is not to be there in the first. I choose to have some distance. At least my boots stay cleaner for longer periods.

i have always thought that the only subjects that should truly be off limits on roff are politics and religion. when statements are made without the benefit of face to face human contact, they become, literally, inhuman. the nuances of human interaction disappear in this medium, and friends quickly become strangers as the lifeless letters are pounded onto these screens. egos go unchecked as the power to say what you please as often as you wish is unlimited by the power of personal confrontation. in short, if we are to continue to enjoy the wonders of this medium and, especially, of this most excellent group of posters here at roff, i regretfully believe that we should make an effort at self-moderation. i am afraid that if we don’t voluntarily abstain from intiating or engaging in socio-political rants or trolls we are going to ruin this place. the positive energy available here is too valuable to lose. can we do this? wayno

This is truly one of the shortcomings of the written word. A good natured jibe at a fellow fisherman across a campfire can be a subject of great mirth and camraderie; but as we’ve seen in this medium, the same remark in lifeless print can be a grievous insult.

Wayno is right on here. We all have genuine personal opinions on social and political issues which directly influence our fly fishing lives, and I agree that these subjects are valid topics of discussion here. Trolling for an argument, however, has been breeding a level of dishonesty here that I too have found disturbing. We have no faces here, only our opinions and advice. If one trolls for a response by posting opinions that do not truly represent who they are, how are we to get to know them? How are we to trust their opinions on other subjects? Trolling is dishonest and it breeds mistrust. It lowers my estimation of the perpetrator. If you have an opinion, I’d love to hear it and discuss it with you, but don’t yank my chain and waste my time for your own amusement. Many posters here seem to know others personally. Most of us, however, do not have that honor, and must get to know you through what you post. Wayno is right that we waste a lot of energy ranting & trolling. This NG, more than any other I’ve read, seems to be populated by real people, my kind of people, people I wouldn’t mind sharing a bottle with. We spend too muct time wasting that. Joe

Yep. Look at it this way: if you were in your favorite flyfishing shop, standing around with about 10 folks, what topics would you want to bullship about, and how would talk about those topics. I sure as hell wouldn’t bring up politics or religion, and if I was discussing logging’s impact on the fishery I wouldn’t be suggesting that we go out and spike some trees for an afternoon’s entertainment.

I doubt it. There will always be disagreements, we just have to learn how to discuss such topics in a non face-to-face medium without turning the issue into personal attacks. There are such vast differences between posters here in age, education level, location, work, background that thinking that you can stop disagreements is not realistic. Later, - Ken

actually, kj, that’s not my point. i know we can’t avoid "disagreements"; in fact, "disagreements", including heated ones, can be quite entertaining and educational. it’s just that there are a very few (again, politics and religion, specifically) that seem to engender vicious diatribes, or quickly dissolve into mindless personal quibbles. therefore, i propose to simply not create or contribute to threads containing subject matter of this nature. wayno

Bojan, The web site looks real nice. But you need some pictures of those big fat rainbows in the Krka River. You know, all the one’s I left behind. <G I demand a rematch! <G A quick note to everyone else, Slovenia is a great ff country and is full of some really nice people too. A very scenic place. The information in Gary Soucie’s book, "Traveling with Fly Rod and Reel" is mostly out of date as far as where to stay etc. Lots of the better hotels are now owned or operated by western companies and the rates are up by a huge factor. Still some good local bargain places if you look. Many of the streams are caulkstreams and the fish grow big and fat. Take a strong 6 wt or better rod and leave your 6X tippet material behind, if any of you ever get to go. Cost of fishing can be seem to be high for Americans but the fishing is very very good. Don Burns PS – The local beer goes down easily too.

I have fished Boca Grande and its surrounding waters for many years. In general, the island of Gasparilla, where the city of Boca Grande (named for the adjoining pass) is located, can be on the expensive side. You might want to check out this site for Pine Island and surrounding areas. The northern tip of Pine Island is located just a few miles east of Boca Grande pass. This site gives a particularly good description of the history and attractions of this general area. http://www.pineislandfl.com/ If you like roughing it, you might want to consider Cayo Costa (a Florida State Park). Cayo Costa is the barrier island that makes up the southern shore of Boca Grande pass. Access to this island is by boat only, although there are frequent passenger ferry trips (no cars) from Pine Island. See these sites: http://www.atlantagames.com./south/getaway/cayo.htm http://www.dep.state.fl.us/parks/southwest/cayo.html Boca Grande, the pass, is a major inlet to Charlotte Harbor. The pass itself is noted mostly for its Tarpon fishing which is at its best starting in late April thought early June. The waters inside (east) of the pass, i.e. Charlotte Harbor and its tributaries and adjoining bays, are noted for some of the best backcountry fishing for Snook, Redfish, and Spotted Sea Trout (Speckled Trout) in this country. There are many good guides in the area. However, I usually guide myself and, with one exception, am not able to help you there. Several years ago, I did hire a guide, a Captain Bill Miller, to take a visiting family member and myself for a day of backcountry fly fishing. It was an excellent trip with many redfish and trout being caught (that’s what we were looking for) and we were impressed with the knowledge and skills of the guide. I don’t know if Bill is still guiding in the area or not, but he specializes in fly fishing for everything from tarpon to trout. He even released a video tape several years ago that might still be avaliable. Its title is "The Complete Guide to Tarpon Fishing With Artificials". A good site for Boca Grande and Gasparilla Island can be found here: http://www.cyberstreet.com/ccfsbo/bocagran.htm Hope this helps…
Try fishing Daniels Park on the Chagrin. It has a Dam which is the end of the line for the fish, unless the water is very high. There is a good holding pool below the dam and a few runs downstream could hold winter Steelhead. Since it is a public park, it does tend to get pressure during Salmon and Trout runs. Good luck, and release them. Tom Steele
Has anyone had any success flyfishing for steelhead around the Cleveland area? Grand River, Chagrin, ect. I know the rain should have brought in a few fish over the last few days. Thanks in advanceI just came to this group looking for the same info. There is a shopcalled Grand river Tackle shopwho usually has the skinny on cleveland area steelies.
IS IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO POST "Grand River Tackle" (’s) address and/or phone number, please. George Gehrke/Mr. Gink
Don’t tell anyone else, but the Plain Dealer had a "kiss and tell" article about how awesome the steelhead fishing is in the Grand, Conneat and Chagrin. Seems the Little Manistee River fingerlings that were stocked a while back have made it all happen. Oh, I guess all the rain we had over the last week pumped up the rivers to allow the silver bullets to pass through the gate. As we speak, I am tying egg sucking leaches and garish colored woolly worms. Guess you can tell what I will be doing this weekend. (Plus there are NO soccer games this weekend!!) Mark Rupp
