If you could take the place of any of the F&S; staff writers which one would it be and why? Merwin, Bourjaily, Petzel(!?), Deeter. Cermele, Bestul, Love? Or any of the others.

Deeters going permit fishing in Mexico and is probably gonna get kidnapped and sold as a white sex slave to a Columbian drug lord. So probably not him. Cermele gets to fish a lot and is in no danger at this time but listens to the Butthole Surfers music, so he's out. Merwin is living comfortable in his cabin in the middle of the woods waiting for the weather to break to go fishing and see's his wife off to work every morning. That guys got it all together. I'd be Merwin.

[Alex Williams]

I would have to say Tim Romano. I mean he got to go fishing so many times before taking his honeymoon... and his wife let him!! And he is an amazing photographer and fisherman. So Romano it is!

[MLH]

Heavey. He gets into everything and no one has any expectations. Except, perhaps, to have something get interesting.

[HillbillyDeluxe]

Not sure if i'd pick petzel or not. I do like the gun reviews he is constantly posting.

[Sportsman Matt]

I wouldn't trade places with any of them unless there was a sizable salary with it. It probably would be fun to fill in for some of these guys, but why would I want the headaches of deadlines, appropriate use of words without offending anyone, and if it's not good enough, you get to answer to the higher ups. I'll stay working my 6 days a week right now in my mostly secure job and laughing my way to the bank.

I'd take Petzal so we both could be smartasses to while away the time between kills.

[ishawooa]

All right so I read the question wrong since my cell phone was ringing for the 15th time tonight. I would pick Petzal since we both are smartasses. Just joking Dave, sort of

[Alex Pernice the fly rod winner]

Deeter, because he inspired me to start writing and fly fishing more than using spinning gear.

[Golfing Sportsman]

Heavey, To be paid to hunt fish and write a page a month on whatever strikes me as interesting, that would be a great gig.

[buckeye]

Heavey, for pretty much the same reason as Golfing Sportsman. I also like how he does not claim to be an expert in anything, and I can relate to that.

[Jim in Mo]

Petzal, He's allowed to have porn on his office computer.

[Huntandtrap09]

Petzal

[mdhager115]

No question it would be Bill Heavey. I read his book and I feel like he is living my dream. The way he approaches everything in life is hilarious. Of course, i would never be able to match the stuff he writes in the back pages of F&S.

[kolbster]

either Chad Love, or Petzal.
