I'm on strike.
You can't write a fly fishing blog unless you actually fly fish and I can't subject you to anymore mindless drivel about not fishing.
I haven't caught a fish in 40 days. I fished only once, half heartedly for about two hours, during that period. The trip was rushed and no balm for the itchy mental rash that comes from too much time away from moving water. Life's been busy, it's rained more in those forty days than it normally does all year, but for the love of God, this must not stand!
Saturday afternoon is my target for a trip to the Housy. Ideally, my next post will have a picture of a freshly caught trout and a few humble words about the experience. At a minimum it's going to have some stellar pictures of fishy water and fall foliage.

ReplyDeleteLike hell you can't. I do this all the time.
But your level of expertise, especially in rough fishing (or as EJ would say "coarse fish"), is some much greater than mine. I am barely Culvert; but I'm working on it.
ReplyDeleteTake a deep breath. Relax. Close your eyes and listen to the sound of my voice. Imagine a crisp mountain stream. Dip your toes into the cool running water. Breath the fresh air. Listen to the birds. Watch the hatch and see the rises of trout. Take another deep breath...
ReplyDelete... AND GET YOUR ASS OUT THERE!
Lookin' forward to hearing about it. ;-)
I'm on it!
ReplyDeleteGood luck this weekend...looking forward to the tale of you jumping that picket line.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Thx, Sanders
ReplyDeleteThe Housy has rainbows galore, waiting on you.
ReplyDeleteGo get um.
Brk: I'm sure that's just a spurious rumor. Everyone knows there's no fish in the Housy. I'm just going there to gaze at the foliage and enjoy being out in the fresh air. Everyone who wants to catch a fish should go to the Naugatuck on Saturday. That's the river with all the fish.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna ignore that last post and just say this one was very Culvert.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the Housie.

Thx, Jonny. Btw, spoke with Steve. We're all set for November.
ReplyDeleteRoger sends his best and looks forward to "catching up" :-0
ReplyDeleteGood lord. I think my ear drums melted last time. At least we're staying somewhere else the first night.
ReplyDeleteFuck guilt. It's a free blog, and unless you want to become study fodder for some sociology PhD's dissertation on "The Obligation Bloggers Feel When Writing For Free And Other Neuroses" you'll simply go with inane.
ReplyDeleteHell, it's made Sarah Palin rich.
Good company, that.
