Why do we Fly Fish?

Yeah I know kind of a little promo for TU, but it's a cool little vid, and I just became a Life Member, so what the hey!

The site, has quite a few "Cool Vids"

Hope you are all getting a chance to get out before it burns down!

Bob
That is a very cool video.
I liked the Eagle shot of him taking the fish.

Great video.

Beauty and serenity...........with brief interruptions of total chaos!

Yep, that's why I fly fish. ;)

Really are some great vids at this site.

Bob.... That just made my day...... I'm a recent addict and when my friends ask why I fish. I always try to explain it..... But that video sums it up!!! Fish On!!!!! Because we still can!!! :)~

Brian... That Fishizzle Video Rocks also man!!! What would these video's be with out the Music?The right tunes make the videos....!!! Sometimes I watch a video and I want to help them remaster it with a better song... But those two are great...

I fly fish to make the crazy jonesin' shakes go away for a while.
Fishing is the most wonderful thing I do in my life, barring some equally delightful unmentionables.

Nice video. I've often asked myself the same question, and the answer runs into many reasons and justifications, but the main driving force is to escape into an environment that revitalizes my soul.

BTW, I haven't seen many of those young, nubile flyfisherwomen on stream except when I'm fishing with my daughters. :lol:
