FULL DISCLOSURE

I have never been affiliated with, received gifts from, or otherwise maintained an inappropriate relationship with, L.L. Bean, Inc. (I did not have sexual relations with that man, Mr. Leonwood.) I have been, however, very satisfied so far with their offers and service on fly-gear and instruction... Two things to mention; first a follow-up to the Walk-On Adventures program: "I can't vouch for the instruction..." While I still cannot personally vouch for the level of instruction, I have been thoroughly assured that it is Top Notch. In fact, the Albany store has at least one FFF Certified Casting Instructor. In general (and as one might expect), L.L. Bean has a pretty strong legacy in the fly fishing instruction arena. Their head instructor is Macauley Lord, who's got some good literature out as well, including some stuff up on Midcurrent . I've also been told that it's quite possible to end up being the lone participant on occasion, in which case you essent...

Like to fish?

Bkill recounts a couple examples of fishing taking precedent over personal health and/or safety. Not too long ago, I was recounting these stories to a colleague. Her response? "So. You must really like to fish." Yeah. You could say that. You could also say hardcore, foolish, reckless, addicted, afflicted... We've all done stupid/reckless/dangerous things and put off other obligations to go fishing. We've all wasted vast sums of money (relative to income) and time chasing tail(fins). I got up at 2 yesterday morning in order to get a couple hours in on the Salmon River (nothing worth mentioning caught), in what you might call less than prime season, "on the way to work". Why? Why not? I think this falls into "shit other people won't ever fully grasp about fly fishing" category. We just belong out there.

HUGE BREAKTHROUGH IN BIOFUELS VS FOOD DEBATE!

From your local hometown paper, Construction permits granted for proposed biofuel plant in Hampton . I knew this was in the works (even got a friend who plans (planned?) on capitalizing on a new farming opportunity), but still, my first thought was, " oh great, more focus on replacing food and feed cropland with fuel cropland...when will people catch on ?" (via Ted Williams ) Fine, I realize that Washington County is not what it once was when it comes to agriculture...sure it's still prevalent, but it has been in significant decline over the past decades. That's about when I got to this part; "The crops would be grown in the spring and fall seasons so vegetables for human and animal consumption wouldn’t have to compete for space, he said." Alright...I'm no farmer, granted, but I'm pretty sure that's not how it works. Since when do we have 3 growing seasons in Upstate New York and Vermont? If somebody can set me straight on this, please do. O...
