[skifishbum]

oh hell yeahs
for the record that aint my vanity plate

trip started with a buzz kill
either my add laden stoner ass left or more likely some asswhipe walked outta my garage with a new dry bag loaded with sleeping bags and my bibler bivvy which really stings as that fuckers $$$ when space is tight
which is still my fault for leaving the door open and not listening to the better 1/2
headed out prefished a bit with my pops and continue puppy stuff training

car 54 where are you?
have ya seen raft 22?

wasn't a lot of heads up despite decent hatches but we forced fed a few

i drew decent sticks and we stuck a few


had a pretty good day
ita been better if they tippped
but whatevers they probably wanted a guide with a nice new boat and a seasons worth of days on the water who luvs to count and git em
and ya gots an irrie old fishy skibum in a beat up tupparwhare mothership that don't quantify much
i did row my ass off for em
lumpy's team won
good to see him

next day the old man had a blue ribbon council sumthin meeting
the furkid and i hit the gorge
front blew through and i thought i was fucked
but the white caps subsided sun poked through
found sum poopers feeding along shore
and managed to git one to eat

a trip into the backing and about an inch a minute later


"which is nice"

headed back and floated a quick a with my dad n friend
think he went 0-5 on that one
hooked up with the roos crew and a cat from the drake n his bro
put in and headed down stream

stuck a few

made er through the whites waters and into one of the more scenic river camps

some chilled

some embraced additional piscatorial pursuits

ate drank puffed and enjoyed campfire companionship till the urge to get horizontal struck us all
loaded up and headed back down river
i manned the bimini topped rubber sticks and the etheopian cat rowed my pops n family friend into fish

[skifishbum]

sure the flyshop bro laughed at the bazooka joe fat albert
but mr brown ate em

i'm pretty sure this guys a hudge flyfisherman

tried some witch docktor juju vodoo euro nymphin but it didn't produce

i jumped up on my high $$ casting platform that keeps shit cold too and crushed it throwing junk and behind the lens

happily floated down into a hot n sunny camp
gs's bro drove down, stuck some fish, resupplied the party with provisions and shared the eve
sun dropped and shelters erected, fajitas devoured, barley hoppy pops and cocktails consumed
smot got poked and other sundries of goods


the next day the Ethiopian cat rowed us into a couple fish
sheldon did puppy stuffs like dig through the garbage for the bacon greased soaked paper towels
we presented the fitting gift the river gods scored us the day before

bucked camp

FKNA SFB bringing the broku to teh next level!

[Jong Lafitte]

Nice!!!

Thanks for those pics! Looks like some fun action. 'Roos caught euro-nymphing? You sure about that? I just cannot help myself from saying that those pictures of the pup are adorable! How neat to have that (soon to be big) little guy tagging along!! Already has that look on his face like he knows what the fuck is up.

Cheers!!

[happytimefunbox]

Oh yeah Sheldon knows what's up. Bacon sniffer works fine on that pooch!

'Roos caught euro-nymphing?

Oh, good grief.
I have a euro nymph rod that I mostly bobber fish with.

And that is a statement that I am conflicted about.

I feel weird now.

For the record all of my fish were caught on pink fat alberts.

Yesterday was probably the best fishing day of my life, and I've had a lot of them.

The day before SFB and I floated around Willard a couple times. We endured the 5yo chatter box for a few hours early and then an evening float provided a couple fish in the boat for Dibs and a two tail pump with a break off for me.

Took a ride from the campground the next morning and scored a spool of 10 pound, a lantern globe to replace boomerang damage from an "accident" by the 5yo, and enough beers to float for the evening.

We headed out for a float just before 6. As we were rowing away from shore we wondered if we were early as we didn't get anything till just before dark the night before. 75 yards from shore I had an 18 inch wiper inhale the Kastmaster i was throwing.

From then on it was on. We were doubled up for pretty much the next two hours. Every cast was fruitful as big fish boiled all around us. I've heard of Wiper boils at Willard but had never seen anything like this.

We each caught at least 12-15 apiece, all of them bigger than 18 inches on up to 22. These fish were running 6-8 pounds and were line taking tanks. I had one straighten out a swivel and swim off with my Kastmaster, I tied on a rattle trap and continued on as before.

I'm not sure I'll ever be able to top last night, regular fishing days will be a let down, heh.









Not to be left out was walking the dyke with SFB earlier in the day. The dude is a master of sighting and presenting flies from the top of the dyke.

[skifishbum]

holy shite that was one of the more intense couple hours of catchin ive experienced
i still cant believe that old dude in the float tube never changed techniques as the water around us expolded with shad, birds and freight train whipers and us in a constant state of doubled up drag screeching bent sticks
definitely one of those dont happen a lot and count your blessings to witness and be part of
Ive never seen boils like that so wide spread and lasting that long
shouldnt you be smiling?
















end o summer cheers

Those wipers look like a good time. Just got back into town after a bit away. Took the long way home down through Montana. Hit some new and old water. More smokey up there than dibs on 4/20 but the fish didn't mind.

[plugboots]

ita been better if they tippped

JHC, WTF?

[dfinn]

[JerseyDave]

Browns are up and fat. Fall is here in Vt.

[LHutz Esq]

Got this little fella before work this am.

Nothing quite like the tug of a steely

[LHutz Esq]

I caught a trout today


But was looking for a coho


Luckily I found one.

Then for good measure - a steelhead - the best fight of my life. She turned out to be about 35 inches tip to tail. What a battle. Best day of fishing ever.

[dfinn]

hiked in and spent a couple nights next to a perfect little high alpine stream. the fish weren't huge but they made up for it with their willingness to smash anything that hit the water

[Mr. Mike]

1 from last week's trip to Iceland. Thanks to Binky for the guide recommendation (icelandfishingguide.com)

first one i have ever seen not bad smoked

[plugboots]

Short nosed sturgeon?

Mrs. Plug and I timed the trico hatch pretty well last wknd. For example, we even had 7 doubles, basically all the fish were carbon copies of these.

[GeezerSteve]

6-day trip in the Idaho Sawtooths with The Wife last week, mostly off trail, much solitude, great camps, caught my biggest high lake 'bow evah.

[stapes]

Where'd summer go?

[east or bust]

they were pulling all sorts of bs with the water levels on the west branch this weekend - bumped it from 300 to 600 cubes Friday night, up to 700 midday Saturday, then back to 300 Saturday night. makes no sense and fucks up the hatches. did have the opportunity to fish to a really, really nice fish for about an hour Saturday night but couldn't get it to eat anything. closing up camp in 2 weeks then back to saltwater for me
