   In regards to the Oregon school teaching fly fishing, I support it 100%…however what I don’t support is idiotic reporting by supposedly educated reporters.

   Quote from article: “Casting the fly line with a rhythm like a pendulum clock rocking between 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock on the dial, Moore tries to power a pheasant-tail nymph across the surface of Diamond Lake toward waiting rainbow trout”

   How in the hell do you get a pendulum to rock,swing or any other measure connect 10 and 2.

   Oh well I guess we know what he was trying to say.

   I imagine it would be quite easy to do if one had a real zero-gravity rod.

   There’s a world fly fishing championship? Is there a “fastest time getting into your waders event?” One handed-blood knots? Most amount of time spent horizontal in the back of a truck full of wet gear and a farting lab?

   See what you learn hanging around here? And by missing the championships, you completely missed the trademark “I got to the river and realized I’d forgotten my waders, boots or reel” event, where contestants scrounge for solutions to supply problems.

   I feel like I’ve been training for that event for years and never knew it.
