Re:How provincial! 17 Years, 9 Months ago

Provincial? Sheesh... One minute I'm an elitist and a snob because I like to fish without a bobber and I wont use beads and the next minute I'm provincial because I don't drink wine?  A provincial elitist snob? That's kind of an oxymoron but I like it, can I use it?
I bet when no one is looking, you sneek indicators onto your spey lines! You probably also put pieces of nightcrawlers on your steelie flies!!
Nope, no nightcrawlers but I do use salmon eggs! In fact, I got 8 steelies in the net today and all of them were on salmon eggs. How many steelies did you catch today?
(Gotta agree with you about the Guinness. Don't short change EYEtalian or even Chinese beer, you hillbilly.)
Hey, I'm not just any hillbilly I'm an elitist hillbilly!
BTW, when you were in Forks, did you finally learn how to use one?
Why yes, I did. That reminds me.... Did you know that the guy that invented the toothbrush was from Arizona? Seriously, the toothbrush was invented by a guy in Arizona. If it would've been invented anywhere else they would've probably called it a teethbrush?

A true trout bum is one who has commitments and responsibilities but won't give in. He doesn't run away to escape them, he just ignores them and goes fishing.......

Brain Fart! 17 Years, 9 Months ago

Sorry Shawn. It's not the first time that I forgot that Shawn Kempkes is Fishhawk, not "Shawn". All that good stuff was meant for him, but glad you enjoyed it.
I don't really know you and I'm not demeaning to folks I don't know. Now as for Kempkes, I wouldn't be surprised if he coated his flies with that smelly fish grease...what's it called, Potzky's or something like that?

A strong casting arm and a room temperature IQ.

Yeah, the toothbrush was actually invented more then once. A lot of people don't know that. There are quite a few places out there that can claim to be the home of the toothbrush, Arizona and Oroville are just a few.

Thanks Chick! There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, except the gut feeling that gnaws at my stomach as I drink and socialize knowing that in a nearby stream there's a steelie waiting for my fly...
Dealt with it for years!
I'll consider that a friendly invite. Thanks!  FRG

Wine? Who's whining? 17 Years, 9 Months ago
|

Here's my 1 cent worth (since the dollar is so weak at the moment)
I have to admit that I am not an oyster fan. I know... I know... But Richard will gladly step up to the plate.
For somewhat selfish reasons, I'll bringing another form of fine seafood for the group. Scallops is my first choice, but I the cooking arrangements will be a factor.
Regarding spirits, we have favorites in most of the red varieties (including Merlot!). Richard loves Cabs while I prefer the mellower Pinot. Open for suggestions as to what to bring.
How about reviving the "Red Wine Exchange" for those interested???
