John,

I'll bet the guy had FFF and TU confused.  I don't think that TU is ever
flyfishing only.
However, FFF is the Federation of Flyfishers.  And if he contacted Jim
Schramm, the Great Lakes President of FFF, he probably got a very nasty
reply.  Jim is long on legalities, short on personality, and short on
common sense.  I am a member of FFF, but wish nothing to do with the Great
Lakes Council.

>My point is how much of the stereotype FF is self inflected?

Only about 100%.

Take care,

Allan
