Lagrangeville, NY Posts: 119	this is a cool video --- very clever commercial. I did not know that a mayfly's life -- even if brief -- was such fun. Ah the magic of the camera. Shawn is right, in real life the little bugger'd be swallowed up by a trout! Ha!

John W has proposed to me that our job as flyfishers is to preserve the little ephermeral guys by interrupting the trout's dinner sufficiently to allow them to escape. The thrill of hooking and (perhaps) landing the fish is purely secondary, he maintains.
