Keno,
Thanks for having the board. Great spot for info and what fishing should be all about...shoot, I've gone blank. What is the meaning of fishing? Or life. Ah geez, now I'm gonna get a headache.

What is the meaning of fly fishing? And of life? Perhaps:

"Unless one can enjoy himself fishing with the fly, even when his efforts are unrewarded, he loses much real pleasure. More than half the intense enjoyment of fly-fishing is derived from the beautiful surroundings, the satisfaction felt from being in the open air, the new lease of life secured thereby, and the many, many pleasant recollections of all one has seen, heard and done." - Charles F. Orvis, 1886
