I've been home for two week and run ragged from work, home renos, and getting another house really for sale. So I decided to get up a 5:00 instead of sleeping in, grabbed the fly rod and visited a little pond that I haven't fished in over 10 years. 10 years ago this pond was full of 10-14 brookies, soon found out that wasn't the case anymore. Not a sign for the first hour, then a trout rose three time about 20 feet from me, switched to a skeeter, but no luck. I keep fishing the area for another 15 20 mins and headed up to the little brook that came into the pond. I sighted (actually scared) 3 fish, 2 feet from the water edge and watched them head into the alder lined bank. rigged up a black bugger and hooked 4, landed two (released) in the next 15 minutes.
Headed home shortly after that, picked up tims for everyone, breakfast is ready and the wife and kids are still in the bunk.
Sorry pics are so small

Its wasn't a No. 2 Hex pattern with a 30 knot head wind was it.
I really suck at casting but a small dry it what I cast best (distance), presentation is another story.

I've been lucky so far. After having to move my head to the side a couple times thou, luckly I have the reflexs of a mongoose.

Wow.......................... a keeper for sure.
My wife is 8+mths along, I think she would kill me if I mentioned that ahe should come fishing with me. I'll give her a break since this is our third baby and the oldest won't be 4 until the fall.

great looking boat

Nice one Brownstone, but that hurts a little. I'm home, but to busy to wet a line between renos, two kids and the wife being 8mth+ along. Maybe late August, maybe.

I was applying for a Texas DL and filled out the form. Took it up to the lady and she informed be that I had filled it out wrong because I was transferring from a "Territory of the United States", to which I reply that my DL was Canadian. She argued with me that Canada was a part of the US, and that if I didn't believe her I could ask the Governor of Texas George W. Bush. With the two armed DPS officers standing directly behind her, I figured I cut my losses and informed her that George W. Bush was the president of the United States. Amended my application and saved $20 buck for the transfers of my DL instead of a new application.

Lets not hate on Americans too much. Im sure I've asked some doozies when I moved to Louisiana.
Lived in Houston for 5 year and got many of strange looks. I think it had to do with the Newfie Brogue and that no one knew what I was sayin. It just killed me to slow down that much.

If something like that happend I don't think I'd be around to tell the Story. According to the spike in heart rate i had the other day when a beaver sounded the alarm while my back was to the water. I though something came out of the tree line directly behind me, little bugger got me the second time too.

Where would you find a copy or two?
Send Dryfly a PM, that how I got my hands on a copy.

beauties

Birchy, you should pick up a copy of Clives excellent book, "The Essential Guide to Fly-Fishing". It's one of my favorite flyfishing books. Good illustrations, descriptions of techniques and tactics for trout and a section on other species such as pike.
I second that...............just start reading it early in the day, you'll be wrecked for work the next morning if you don't. I'm not a reader by any means, but I finished that one cover to cover one night.

The only thing funnier than watching someone fall, is seeing a kid get his arse beat off for laughing at the person that fell. Especially when your the one who took the tumble.

I used to also own a 1974 Gibson Les Paul Gold Top, but I sold it for $ 400 and a bag of weed, back in 1981. What a bad move that was. Oh well, young and stupid. I wonder what it would be worth today.
How big was the bag?????????????????

maybe they don't video the small ones.

Congrats Lynn and thanks to FFC and their hook ups for the nice prize.

Just 9 more members to go.
Then I see how many members are in the "letter" catagory. I then do a random # search between X and XX to determine what member gets the prize.
Seem fair to all y'all?
Looks like I'm out of the running..............
