I am a Certified Welder of 22 yrs/Disabled Vet now. Jack of all trades, Master of NONE LOL..(to help the ends meet) LOVE NASCAR,Fly Fishing,Rookie Fly Tyer, (but with the BEST teachers right here in the world :):):) )Reading, Listening to Music and Spoiling Grand Kids, but not necessarily in that order...I guess if I had to categorize it , it would be TAKING My kids and grandkids Fly Fishing, then the others would follow, like NASCAR on the VCR while out fishing,....
Then, This list of occupations is VERY interesting to Me, because from TV, Magazines, Talking to ppl etc etc . You get the impression that a Fly Fisherman (vs a bait chunker) is a White Collar person with More degrees than a thermometer, and goes to a creek on vacation, is very rich, stuffy and things like that... Like a "snoot" or a "snob"....and NO sense of humor, and NOT a funny bone in their body...A real stuffed shirt..That is the impression I got for years, and that is the impression of ppl I meet on the lakes, etc... Then, you see a list like this and you see that they (Fly Fishers) come from all walks of life. White Collar, Blue Collar,Rich, Middle Class, Poor (ME). Some Maybe Stuffy, Many Rednecks LOL, Funny ppl, probably some not so funny. Some serious about everything. Some serious about nothing. Some of sound mind, some not LOL..... A real live "cross section" of society. Anybody else seen this "stereotype"???? Kinda the same thing about golf (and tennis or chess) was for years and years... White, Male, Rich, High IQ,Upper Middle class or higher.Stuff shirt etc etc Wife is a Stepford wife. 2.4 kids, a dog and maybe a cat... ......Chuck ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jimmy D.
