You gotta pay to play for saltwater fishing. 99% of the access is by
boat with a guide. There are a few do-it-yourself opportunities, but
they're pretty limited. On the positive side, there's nothing like it
-- wading on the tropical flats in knee-deep water, hunting for
bonefish and trevally and permit etc. is an exciting and challenging
experience. Saltwater fish fight like demons from hell. And you can
get a nice tan in the winter. :-)
I'm going to the Seychelles in April, and I hope to the Yucatan in
March (or somewhere) with Willi. Saltwater fly fishing is the bomb.

I almost went to the Seychelles last year. Wife talked me out of the
long trip. Would have been two + days getting there. As it was, the
one day trip to Tierra del Fuego was bad enough.
Talked to a couple of guys in Argetina last year about the golden
dorado. I've read a few articles on this fish and it seems to be quite
the fighter. Fresh water streams in Bolivia, Argentina, and Brazil are
easy to get to (compared to the Seychelles and New Zealand). Easy to
get to. Big willing fish. Downer would be the locale - all jungle.
Spent enough time in the jungle with its bugs and snakes to last me a
lifetime. The dorado also shares the same water with small sting rays,
piranha, and lots of other nice things, making an outing for this fish
a true adventure.

The Seychelles is hideously expensive and ridiculously hard to get to
(and then there are the Somali pirates), but it's supposed to have the
best bonefishing in the world, and also five species of trevally and
shots at the difficult-to-catch and hard fighting milkfish, as well as
a number of other lesser species. I'm planning to spend a few days in
Paris between my connections to the islands, just to smooth out the
travel time.
The best do-it-yourself flats fishing I know of is in the Bahamas,
which is relatively cheap and easy to get to, but even there it's a
big challenge.

I was the 4th guy in a four-party trip to the Bahamas later this month.
It was both guided and unguided. I had to back out of the deal in
October because of the new home in the Georgia mountains. Good news is
that I will be fishing for trout in two weeks. This is the second year
in a row that I have canceled a trip to the Bahamas. Last year
everyone but I backed out, so I went to TdF instead That was a hoot,
but cold.

I didn't have any trouble finding it. Nice photos. Otherwise, a
pretty complete compendium of everything repugnant about fly fishing
and those who persue it in the vain hope of banishing self-loathing.

Actually it is proven scientific fact, with the possible exception of
LA pool boys, that some women find men with more money or power to be
more sexually attractive than for example shot and a beer guys in the
bar down from the unemployment office.
Its a mystery of the ages. Seeing as my own unit is a foot and a half
long and half as thick this mystery doesn't concern me or the dwarfs
charged with carrying each ball. Your mileage may . . . .

The difference between heaven and hell:
In heaven, the English are the police, the French are the cooks, the
Italians are the lovers, and the Germans run the place.
In hell, the English are the cooks, the French are the police, the
Germans are the lovers, and the whole place is run by Italians.
Perhaps that is why the dwarf is such an angry-at-the-whole-world kind of guy.

Look, my dwarfs are happy just to have a job. I signed them up for
those half portion food stamps last week and pay them under the table,
literaly. Both are small "C" conservatives and neither have CG carry
permits yet like that last one I had to fire and turn in to the INS
for her own good. Neither of these new ones give me any guff and one
only speaks Moldovan. Where do your ball carriers hail from amigo?
Dave
David LaCourse
LOL. Not *those* dwarfs, you ninny. The German dwarf.
And, I ain't got no ball carriers. Are they expensive?
Giles
Mr. Bacon was a very bright individual, by all accounts. Still, I
suspect he would bow to your greater experience in spreading muck.
g.
rw56...@gmail.com
I'm going to the Seychelles, and I'm going to the Yucatan, and I'm
going to catch a bunch of bonefish and trevally, and, if lucky, permit
and snook and tarpon and milkfish. But it's not all about catching.
It's not even primarily about catching, although catching is pretty
much required for a successful fishing trip, IMO.
It's about the experience. If you want to be happy, my advice to you
is to spend your time and effort and money on experiences rather than
on things. I wish I'd learned this when I was young, but better late
than never.
Giles
If you've got a lot more luck than brains, you may someday discover
that buying experience is in no way fundamentally different than
buying things. For that matter, anyone who has read your offerings in
this newsgroup over the past ten years or so and has an inkling of
what he or she is reading has probably already come to the conclusion
that you've got a lot more luck than brains. How else to explain your
disgust for life?
Do something.
What the hell.....what have you got to lose?

What the fuck does that mean? More luck than brains, and I'll discover
something profound? It makes no sense -- just a recycled cliche.

I'm enjoying life, thanks awfully.
You have this annoying habit, Giles. It reminds me of a strange
character named Wolfgang who used to frequent ROFF. You like to accuse
people of preposterous psychological conditions based on nothing at
all -- self-hating, for example. That's one of your favorites.
Well, get a clue -- it doesn't work.

This same insecure , probably self hating ass has nothing better to do than
make nasty, snide, & demeaning comments on some off the posts on ROFF
Imbecile, idiot, moron and oig are some of his favorite comments.
He has been probably been whipped physically & psychologically
He thinks that he can gain favor and friends w his ascerbic wit and
intellectual acumen.
Not so!

Hm......seems pretty clear to me.

Ah, you think there's profundity lurking somewhere in there and you
just can't find it. No such luck. It's every bit as mundane and
quotidian as it looks.

Well, if it's a cliche, it pretty much has to be recycled.....by
definition.....ainna?

It's been suggested that I actually have more than one.

What with all the unemployed sleuths hanging out all over the internet
these days, it getting pretty tough to maintain an effective secret
identity.

No, it doesn't work. Maybe that's because it isn't prompted by
serious intent to accomplish much. In fact, it's just a simple old
recycled parlor trick, closely related to how your old uncle Charlie
used to pull a silver dollar out of your ear when you were pretty sure
it wasn't in there before he found it.

Well, he certainly does have OTHER things to do. Whether or not any
of them are better is highly subjective. He thinks some of them are
better.....but then, he probably hasn't got your refined
sensibilities.

Handy, easy to remember (and spell) widely applicable, to the point,
and easy enough for the audience to understand. What's not to like?

Who hasn't?

Hasn't worked so far. And all those of us who failed to master all of
the details of fly fishing on the first few tries probably aren't
here.....right?

I'm betting that because of his size and his names, he got his shiny

Jerk is easy. Look at all the idiots on usenet who do it without

No, of course you wouldn't. You just know about them through an
uncanny ability to divine what others are saying without any exposure
at all. You remind me a lot of stevie.

OK
If LUCK>BRAINS ---> EXPERIENCE NotDiffThan THINGS
Therefore
If LUCK<BRAINS ---> EXPERIENCE DiffThan THINGS
&
If BRAINS>LUCK ---> EXPERIENCE DiffThan THINGS
So f------ what?
How about the EXPERIENCE of THINGS? or the Experience of THINGness?
Look, I knew Mr Thingnessless
Mr Thingnessless was a friend of mine
And you ain't no Mr Thingnessless
And IMHO nor are but the tinyest portion of our life-form, either out
of necessity or by choice. We are literally Thinglings. Maybe how we
get things, or even make things ourselves is the more interesting
question.
I think maybe some of the THINGness is hardwired in humans by now, and
represents the movement of physical solutions, (like extensive
hairiness), transformed into a biochemical circuit which in some way
enables a material solution, (like pelt or textile), . . . to address
the need for the body to conserve heat for example. etc etc.

A fascinating hypothesis, but where are you gonna find volunteers to
test it?

There's an old familiar expression that crops up even here sometimes;
"The devil is in the details." Personally, I prefer Mies Van Der

Bu then, given that there's no end to details, I suppose there's room
for both.
