Oh My Gawd --- It's Frickin' SLOW!

Put her in a thong bikini with a hand organ she can grind

That almost sounds illegal. :laugh:

Lots of guys and girls here fly fish. But I'm still into the spinning mode. In the next year we will take up fly fishing. Love that Trout fishing though.

It is nice to talk to others interested in fishing on AF. I saw "trout" and I jumped on it. That is what I have always loved to fish for in the small rivers, growing up.

Where I live right now on the mex border, it is all about spinning the Colorado River @ the Mexico border. Nobody has a clue what fly fishing is!!!! It's rough for me as it is not what I am used to. It is another world for sure, but I am getting used to it with time. :blush:

I really like to fish for trout with a fly, wet or dry. The best one I had was “royal coachmen” I would get my limit every morning or evening on one of the lakes in Glacier Park the 10 years I worked there. Use to like to catch “Ling” as well in Lake Surburn. Best morning I ever had was in late June I had just gotten back from Lake Gernell with a nice stringer of trout, crossing my horse pasture I happen to look down and found a large mess of Morel Mushrooms that had just pop up the day before. I call the district ranger and ask him if he would like to come down to the Feed Shack at the horse coral. The cook with up some sour dough biscuits, fresh trout and morel mushrooms. What could have been any better morning to really start the day off.

Did a lot of fly fishing on the Blue down river from Silverthorne, Co at my place there (Spring Creek Ranch), plus the creeks beaver ponds were full of trout on the ranch.

Still like to noodle a bit for the big mud cats. Noodle ‘N can be lots of fun, with a snort or two of Wild Turkey or shine.

Might look like she is also selling brillo pads.

Introduce her to some wax and that'll take care of that!:laugh:

Hmmm....so far this month is the best month this year. I am buried and they are still coming in. Glad I only had one day in the classroom this month.

Several new clients, two ERCs, two FHAs, three from individuals, lots of VA's.

Two days to go...will there be more?

Grew up on it. Pint or Quart Masion Jar. Then Ozark Hills were good for a young man. Taught you how to hunt, fish, drink shine and chase the young barefooted hill women.

I remember the cool nights laying out listening to the hounds run the coons. The days fishing upper Bull Shoals, the White River, the James River, Swan Creek, Beaver Creek. then as you got older you would run over to Neosho and enter up in the Rodeo, cross over into Ok and rodeo a bit over there always had a bit of "shine" with you.

By the way that stuff has the double kick of a "Missouri Mule"

I picked up fly fishing about 10 years ago....................be careful............it gets addicting and expensive. I mainly fly fish in the Chesapeake Bay since I moved to Virginia Beach in 2006. There are some great trout streams in CA and I miss fishing for 6 inch wild trout on a 4wt rod in a mountain stream. We also have some great trout fishing in the Blue Ridge Mountains but the drive is 3 to 4 hours. Anyway..............I fish some of the bridge tunnels out here at night in my kayak......................my best night I caught 45 striped bass on the fly rod......................

Oh................and I fly tie as well......................that's another addictive hobby.

At your place? I used to raft from the green mountain resevoir down the blue through the old Dow Ranch. I can't remeber what that ranch was called, but if that is your place, you did one hell of a job creating a wonderful fishery. 36 inch rainbows in the holes and browns in the riffles that averaged 28 inches. That strecth of the blue from the green mountain dam down to the take out, 9 or so miles down, was the best fishing I have ever had in the lower 48. When the CFS gets charging over 350 I can make it down it in my cataraft. The fall was always the best time of the year. At the 350 cfs its "real boney", I prefer 450 and up. My buddy was at the oars and ran us up on a real can opener of rock and cut a 2' gash into one of the tubes. I had to do a temporary patch do get out of the canyon, lucky it was the last day of my trip. It takes a small raft or an expericined guide to make it through the first 3 miles of that canyon.

I used to live in Dillon and miss it every day.


Fly fishing for carp is allright here in Michigan, but there is nothing like fishing the rivers out west.
