I’m prepared to be a little more charitable than Singlebarbed when it comes to CEOs partying like it’s 1999 in the throes of a worsening recession.
Sure, it’s not the best time to be flagging up corporate fishing challenges, regardless of how much money they might raise for the national flyfishing team but then sensitivity has long been one of the first items of ballast jettisoned by those scaling the corporate ladder.
And, you can argue, even God needed a day off.
All I ask is that if any CEO who applies to take part happens to run one of the financial crapshoots institutions whose greed and incompetence got the world’s economy into this mess in the first place, the organisers are man enough to show him/her the door.
There’s rubbing our noses in it, then there’s really rubbing our noses in it.

About Me
Taunted By Waters is what Trout Fisherman features editor Jeffrey Prest gets up to between salary negotiations.
Much as he'd like the credit for this play on the famous last words in A River Runs Through It, the real hero is Hannah Nordhaus, who coined the phrase in an article on her first try at flyfishing, for Rocky Mountain News. This blog is dedicated to her. The good bits, anyway.
