    Fly fish?

    Anyone else on here do any fly fishing?!

    Been chasing brown trout during the spawn up in WY. Anyone else suffer from this affliction?!

    Thought I’d ask...

    This dude was close to 10 years old, not quite the eating type. I release about 99% of the fish I catch, occasionally keep a brook trout or a small rainbow to cook up when the family is camping.


    You guys should give it a try (not that you don’t have enough hobbies, lol).it’s the only time my brain just shuts down, I love it.

    Love fishing in general. I do not fly fish though. Find it disturbs my peace I get from the act of fishing too much. Pretty much a bait fisher.

    I bait fish too, on the fly is my preferred method but I’m not opposed to drowning worms

    Can't really find anything lately that turns my brain off. I'm in the Canary Islands right now, and earlier today I rented a motorbike and drove for an hour to find a nude beach, and then I went gokarting. I definitely had more free and optimistic thoughts today, but that isn't the same as your brain turning off.

    The bike ride was scarier than the gokarting. I felt safe in the gokart, but I knew I was fucked if the bike slid out, plus the wind was VERY strong on my way home, I thought I might have to pull over to the side of the motorway and stop driving.

    Water was lovely at the beach... not cold at all...... plus there was a group doing bodypainting.



    I have the choice of staying here in the Canaries til 10th Jan, or alternatively I can go do a Buddhist meditation retreat (10 days silence) from Christmas Day onward. Haven't made my mind up yet. The silence will definitely help me getting to a place where my brain turns off, but maybe what I really need right now is just to chill out and enjoy myself (quad biking, paragliding, horse riding in the mountains).

    I have a fishing rod I bought for less than $10 in a food market but I've never caught anything. I am however tempted to shoot squirrels with pellet guns and mail the carcasses to Obs in Missouri.

    Also my exgirlfriend used to horse ride (her family were big into equestrian stuff and they owned a horse farm), and so since she died I've been saying I need to go horse riding, so maybe that's what I should go do in the next few days. There is a trail in the mountains here that the horses walk.

    Why Kimbo, I believe that you left your “fly” open in that pic, lol. Well, the thread is about fly fishing, so it is appropriately placed at least.

    Actually, you invented a new sport, open fly fishing. Just don’t wade too deep into the water or the fish might mistake that for a lure

    The resolution and lighting were very low in that photo. I realise there was a risk of arousal, but the risk was sufficiently low to warrant the sharing of the photograph.

    No, it wasn't. You actually violated a rule by doing so. It risks offending our female members, that why it was deleted.
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    I understand that these are the current rules of the board.

    Could the moderators/administrators of the board please discuss my proposal for a rule change?

    How about if nude photographs and videos are allowed so long as all these criteria are met:
    (1) All people in the media are over 18
    (2) All people in the media are aware that they're being recorded and consent to it
    (3) No sexual behavior, no postures intended to arose, no lewd gestures.

    Personally I think it's very reasonable to be able to post pics and videos of ourselves nude at a beach or on a boat on lake. Maybe start off by just allowing still photographs, and see if that goes well.

    Nobody on here wants to see you naked.

    This is like Schrodinger's Cat. Inhabitants of this forum simultaneously want to see me naked and not see me naked. It's similar to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle -- it is not possible to determine whether a person is simultaneously sane and wants to see me naked.

    Therefore without such imperical evidence, due consideration should be given to my proposal in lieu of your unfounded condemnation.

    It's been over a year since I came out as a lesbian trapped in a man's body:

    https://forums.steroid.com/anabolic-...xpression.html

    And so it's only natural and progressive that I would begin to feel more comfortable in my own skin.

    Let me take a copy of a prescription Cuz, I want those medications that make you neatly mesh into society. You're American and therefore your shrink is a nutcase and gives you 5 - 10 substances you don't need. In Europe we might get 1 or 2 drugs, nowhere near the the level of psychiatric affluence you find stateside.

    I finished my Clomiphene PCT two days ago so all I'm taking now daily is 1g Vitamin C, 1g cod liver oil, multivitamin & minerals, glucosamine.

    By the way putting androgens in your blood probably isn't conducive to a calm and balanced mind.

    Nudity is great for mind, body, soul. And some of you stateside have the climate for it.

    I have an idea...create your own thread. Those that want to participate, can. The title of this thread (which I started) is “fly fish”?

    You know better than anyone how to create your own title. Start one regarding nudity, medications, Zen Buddhism...whatever you’d like.

    Just leave this one to fly fishing

    I went scubadiving for the first time yesterday, which is sort of relevant to flyfishing. (Well actually it was just in a swimming pool to try out the breathing apparatus).

    Also I have a pet bloodparrot fish, which again is fish-centric in topicality:
