Shame about the road, really a bummer...

Do you even recognize it anymore? Like I said, you can get an RV down there now. Maybe they'll pave the slide next? Perhaps install an escalator at the power station? The only thing we really needed was a public access point between here and the dam ruins. Oh, well...golden stones, sallies, pmds and drakes bringing lots of surface action. Deer flies started hatching yesterday, they'll be unbearable in a week.

That's nuts, thanks for the photos. Its a shame.

so the furkid and i headed up for a project healing waters gig last hump day

showed up early and rigged a streamer rod with the teeny xpress
and a slut bobber chrominiod nymph rig
make a couple casts and wtf shits broke a couple inches down from the tip
they ist tried to give me jim a blind vet who dfinn and i have fished with
but dork dog couldn't leave his seeind eye god alone
so they give me a couple ladies j and j one who works for the va and a vet

my dad had left his 6 weight sage in the boat from our dads day outing
so i rig it with a fullsink
were trollin around gettin em pretty good on both rigs with lumpys low fat kickin ass and a big ole articulated sexy butt monkeys getti em too


the one lady lives up big cottonwood canyon and has rented her basement to the ski bums i hang with t and has skied my home mountain for decades i just didnt recognize her outta ski gear
so after a good bakers dozen we break for lunch
the ladies wanna work on casting i suck at teaching and theres a couple vets who got skunked from shore
so i take one out and leave the ladies with casting expertice volis
hes gettin em pretty good as the ranch lakes the peeps who generously allow us access are well stocked

were puttin em in the

slows down a bit so i break out the fullsink and i think we even doubled up
i ussually row with the butt tween my knees and while the lack of strip set costs ya a few them articulated butt monkeys manage to hook enough on their own
well ive never seen a rod leave the boat so fast i think it may of tapped the front deck casting brace
but fuck me it was fast
and i dont think i was much behind it having this happen to me before
well about 10 stokes in i havent gained an inch on it and im watching the white cork stream away and sink into the depths
and reminded i aint swam hard in about 4 years
i shouda stayed in the boat and had the vet try and hook the line
but that hindsight shits always 20 20
i trolled around with the teeny and the heaviest fly i had and those asshole fish wouldn't let the fly sink and dude just kept hooking up
as did i once the vets left and i had an hour to try and rescue it
the old man got access went back monday with a grapling hook device and tried for a few hour but i couldnt get outta work
the ussually give us a voli day out there in the fall so im hopin to dig out the wet suit and snorkle and fins but its a good 20' deep and a few acres
so if ya has a line on a sage sp 3 piece six weight that someones looking to move for a resonable prrice let me know
i need to fix me fuckups
theres one on egay auction comin up tommarrow hopefully i dont jinx that
and i fuckin hate egay
and spending a bunch of money replacing rod that doesnt really fit my dads casting strokes sucks but im kinda particular about my gear
and attachments to it
anyhow rainbow cheers fishy fuckos

[happytimefunbox]

anyhow rainbow cheers fishy fuckos

Goddamn it man that sucks. I have a mask and flips lets go baywatch that fucker. Better yet I volunteer my chuck n duck n fullsink plus all my huge flys to fight off fatty bows in my best attempt to save that rod. Its the least I could do

Traveled to the Rapid and Magalloway Rivers in NW Maine. Stayed at the Cedar Stump campsites on the Rapid for two nights. Fishing was tough due to dam release flows. We caught tons of smallmouths, a few smaller native brookies and landlock salmon, and one slab

Good shit guys. I will take my phone out of my pocket one of these years and contribute.

Edit: I did take it out a couple times recently but not for fishes.

Nice to have this one available when a meeting ends earlier than expected.


My weekend and get out of work early river. It’s on round here. Flows are good if you UT, (Teleee - I still include you in there), guys want to make the trip.

It is killing me to get out there! Sadly Miss T's father has leukemia and it isnt looking great. So I am sitting in a hospital in Iowa looking at pictures of you fuckers getting after it. Hopefully later this summer I can get up there.

Why not create a new page for fish catch photos? I don't see many tenkara rods here.

Satire, is a hard concept it seems.

That’s tough! Hoping for the best!!

Give a holler if you can shoot up here. We usually have a few days in by this time of the year. Gonna have to make up for the lack of river time.

Wow. The permit is in the fish of a lifetime class.

Just got some humble desert fishin' here. Segos are blooming and the long runoff is in its final stage.

[plugboots]

Pig permit. Well done.

[new yabyum]

Salt water dreams. Well done.
