The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

It has been a couple of years since I posted.

I left saying I would never come back. I guess like James Bond, "Never Say Never".
I left with a bad feeling.
I was flamed for asking for a prayer for my son.
A place that had a heart, especially regarding personal loss and family - changed.


In my opinion what the board lost was tolerance. (plus a really crappy website/server/access)

I still follow people I admired here on other social sites and email. Folks like ElRay, PastorTD, and SST, and others that I shared fishing and life experiences with (divorce, child issues, etc.).

Fishing is a shared passion.
When you become friends with people who share a passion you end up caring for them deeply. There are still many of you here who I would put in that category (Carpy, Sal-Man, TroutDale, to name a few). People that would give you the shirt off their back.

If the board wants people back - simplify the site and open the bounds of tolerance.
It may be a little too little - too late.
But passion and compassion are remarkable things.
