From the December 1983 Fly Fisherman. There is just something amusing about this:
This forum began as Clark's Classic Bamboo Rod Forum, founded by Clark Davis for all who share a passion for classic rods. The forum is now owned by Whitefish Press aka Dr. Todd Larson - banjo.

Orvis among others paired their best offerings with investment tools from financial institutions across the US. It was this time that fly fishing went from
being something that weirdo's and cranky old men did to being identified as an honorable means of recreation for the up and coming who would become known as "Yuppies."

Yeah, that's back in the original "Yuppie Revolution" when flyfishing became the "in" thing. There was another bank that offered a free
Weatherby rifle if you opened an account with a big deposit.
