When it comes to fly fishing, it is always a form of escape for me and one thing I try and escape is crowds. As a high school teacher, I'm around crowds CONSTANTLY when the school year is in, so in the summer, I compensate by getting away from them as much as possible. I never could understand the appeal of a fish-out done by some fly fishing clubs where hordes of folks descend on The Stan, The Yuba, etc. That is NOT to say that folks here aren't worth meeting, I'm certain they are, I've just never done it, at least as far as a bash goes. I have met a bunch of NCFFBers at a couple of Parks Bar clean ups in the fall on the Yuba (what I called the Trash Bash), where I met people like Fat Monk, Sparse Hackle, GM, Ralph Cutter, DBaggins, Jet, etc. to give you an idea how long ago THAT was. But that's not fly fishing, just good stewardship of a resource, so I hope a crowd WOULD show up for that. Also, we're JUST getting out of school when the bashes typically happen, so the timing isn't all that great.
I'm just enjoying the board for what it is NOW and not pining for "the good old days."
