haha.. I know there's fish in there.. I just have a hard time reading the water I think because it's all so big and wide. The first time I went I tried upstream.. this time I tried downstream by the bend and cliffs.. but it just wasn't my day. After Thursday night.. I should've expected that! Rickr.. were you at Mac today?? Saw someone that I thought looked like you..

Thanks guys. Was able to find it no problem. On another note.. 2nd time to McKinnons now and 2nd time skunked. Why does it suck so bad?

How do I get there again? Is it the first right after the big blue silo thingys?

Noah Augustus Birch is now 5 weeks old.. doing great.. was up to 6lbs. 4oz. at the last appointment. Eating, sleeping, pooping, and peeing like a little machine!! Caught wind the other day that my cousins have "ordered him a present that Ryan will really like too!".. have a feeling its definitely fly fishing related.. thinking maybe a little rod or something.

*sigh*

Just for the record.. I slammed a 20"+ rainbow tonight with a #16 or so Posse Nymph. And I have 2 witnesses.

Okay Okay! I'm sorry for not showing up! Geez!

The difference is that the admins/mods on this site can be dragged into a whole 'bunch a crap'. This is a public forum and the admins and mods have requested that we don't. Period.

There's a whole news article on it man.. hilarious!! Click here if the movie does not play.

Didn't realize there was a book!: http://www.amazon.ca/River-through-Stories...3899869-0628068 Who's read it? Is it as good as the movie?

BAH hahaha! Love it.

That bridge picture is amazing! I'd send that in for a "best pictures of the year" contest for sure!

Picked up a new pair from Hanson's on Friday. The brand is "Sea Striker". They cost me $3.50 after using my $50 gift certificate. Sweet! So far so good.. they seem to work well.

lol.. sweet.

And a bargain at just $255!! I might as well get a few pairs.

Amen brother.

hahaha.. But if it wasn't for all those things Toolman.. I wouldn't have caught one damn fish this year!! As far as the polarized glasses go.. I bought a $40 pair of "Optic Nerve" glasses at WSS this year and they worked great. Tried on CDock's Oakley's and couldn't tell a difference. Of course.. CDock still has his Oakley's.. meanwhile, I set my glasses on the top of my car while doing something else and then drove away! This was in front of my house.. came home figuring they'd be lying on the road there somewhere but they were gone. Someone went home with some new glasses that day! Damn thief!

Wicked.

Is that Cateract?

Congrats on an awesome season rickr!! I'll be going a bit later myself.. apparently I have to beat the "biggest fish caught by a rookie" mark of 26.5".. But i'm not competitive at all...

No worries headscan.. Toolman and BigBadBrent are both good guys.. they just don't get along with each other that great.. I prefer to use a net. I have one of those big mamma jamma catch and release nets with the metal frame from Wholesale Sports. Works like a charm. You can leave the fish in the water, take the hook out, and then just lower the net and they swim away. Even though I have these big hands, for some reason I can't seem to hang on to a fish without really squeezing them, which to me is more harmful than netting them. Just my opinion.

I rear-ended a car this morning. I tell you, I knew right then and there that it was going to be a REALLY bad day! The driver got out of the other car, and wouldn't you know it! He was a DWARF!! He looked up at me and said "I am NOT Happy!" So I said, "Well, then, which one ARE you?" And that's how the fight started.
