Getting Away

Is it okay if I am extremly vague yet udderly blunt in this post? Alright I will just come out and say it ... I hate what the internet has done to the lifestyle of flyfishing, notice I did not call it a sport or a hobby. You see, to those of us who truly understand the gift of fly fishing it is much more than a sport or a hobby, it is a deep seeded passion fueled by every glimmer of natures beauty and every adventurous experience with our closest friends. Luckily, I have an amazingly loving and understanding wife who while trying to be sincere, says she sort of understands where I am coming from. You see, the internet has concentrated the rookie to below average fly fishers in what used to be fisheries where you would find only those who truly understood what it meant to be a fly fisherman. Formerly, if someone went to a new place they heard was good and didn't catch anything they probably would not return, now they will return because they have seen others post numerous pictures of numerous fish and they simply say to themselves, "it must have been bad luck." The only bad luck I see is the amount of fisherman I see crowding me and my solitude in what were formerly my favorite waters. I will clarify however, there are some fisheries such as the one I posted below who everyone knows about and secrets really don't abound, those would be fair game in my opinion. Whew...........sorry I had to get that one out.

So with that said I have posted two pictures of what could be a thousand different rivers and will simply say I had an amazing time with one of my closest friends on a beautiful river.
