If we carry purism to a logical conclusion, to do it right {fishing} you'd
have to live naked in a cave, hit your trout on the head with rocks, and eat
them raw. But, so as not to violate another essential element of the

I wouldn't use a rock, that would bruise the fish.
But if we become TRUE purists, we would eat the fish. This CR stuff

Mark,
Splinta is doing the Striperhead once or twice a year. I had the peasure
to attend some 2 years ago with my son. Was a great trip, and Splinta is
a great, friendly
We did this once years ago, and it was interesting to see the
wide spectrum of occupations and hobbies. Now that we have
several new folks on the list it might make a decent THREAD
and will let us know each other a little better. If you'd like to add
something, feel free to do so.
Have A Good
