Sorry. The barrel part was tongue in cheek.
(Or would that be hook in cheek?)

I'm an avid fly fisherman who ties his own and tries his
best to not to harm them with irresponsible technique.
(I even build my own fly rods. All part of the art.)

I have great respect for the fish, the stream, and the
ecosystem living there.

In fact I'm in awe of it all.

If there was a single ill spirit in me while doing it, it
would be considered harassment. I don't think I'm doing
that.

In fact I think the time spent waist high in a running
stream while soaking up all that surrounds a person,
makes it impossible to have nothing but respect for
everything living there, epsecially the trout.

I should not have written my reply to you in such a way.
Sorry about that.
Rereading it, it came off much more rude and insensitive
than I intended.

That's cuz you don't know him very well. He's crazy, too. Only he is a crazy fisherman, as he has told you.
Speaking of which, I'm startng to think about stocking the big pond. Probably something best discussed with my kids over a beer :>)
