"his love of fly fishing..."
Has PETA been made aware of this?
I think it's the "other" kind of fly....with a zipper on it.
I had heard that the NYT had a lot of homosexuals on its staff but, "fly fishing," that is a new one.
Does this have something to do with gay pride?
""his love of fly fishing..." "
I am keeping my fly closed so this maroon doesn't get near it.
More like "monkey fishing" ...
Has anybody read his autobiographical book on his life as a fisherman, I wonder? I forgot the title (no loss), but I started it some years ago, unaware that the guy was a lefty. I got to a part where Raines related how, as a young boy, he had been left home because he was too young when his older brother and dad had gone on a fishing trip. In a childish tantrum over being left behind, he had then broken his brother's prized fishing rod in half. Not too unusual, I suppose, but Raines then went on to say that even as he wrote, as a middle aged adult, he still wasn't sorry for having broken the rod. I think that defines the guy's character pretty well. Anyhow, I'd had enough whining and fake eloquence by then, so I gave up on the tiresome tome.
I will say that if well to do "liberals" take up fishing, the fly rod is snooty enough to appeal to them.
