Reefskunk,

Hey now, it's not that I didn't appreciate your offer. I just don't expect you to understand how the mind of some fly guys works. Maybe an analogy will help. Since bonefish are a suitable fly rod fish species, catching one on octopus and a few ounces of lead is no more satisfying or rewarding than catching a steelhead in a gillnet. Flyfishing for bonefish isn't a disadvantage if you don't want to catch one on bait.

Uh, thanks for the updated offer, I think. I thought I was going to have more time to fish, but a week goes by quickly, and the family had a lot of other plans. It's hard to get much fishing time in because we don't go to Hawaii to fish. It's just another activity to try to fit into the schedule.
