whoa, whoa! what?

" I want you to observe, that those who cry the loudest about their disillusionment, about the failure of virtue, the futility of reason, the impotence of logic - are those who have achieved the full, exact, logical result of the ideas they preached, so mercilessly logical that they dare not identify it. In a world that proclaims the non-existence of the mind, the moral righteousness of rule by brute force, the penalizing of the competent in favour of the incompetent, the sacrifice of the best to the worst - in such a world, the best have to turn against society and have to become it's deadliest enemies."

-Ayn Rand

Posts: 2594 Minneapolis Gender:	Re: New here Reply #4 - Feb 7^th, 2010 at 9:37pm Phil is right (and, for the record, JGN is often wrong) - The Purist Paradise is great for self-deprecation - not so great for learning much. Unless what you want to learn is that dry fly fishing is far superior to nymphing. That you can believe. Welcome to the board.

3. and. . . quoting Ayn Rand has serious implications. follow those on the political board.

Welcome & pull up a bar stool. All is right here, currently.

Welcome - as you have discovered, this is a great local forum. My advice though is to try to not learn alot from everybody here. Very few of the posters really know anything about fly fishing.

what was the link to that upper midwest place again?...... how about 'driftless skies over some parts of minnesota'? ( just make sure you mention nothing about downstream drifts).

I think you owe the guy that much
