Sweet! Nice way to spend Fathers' Day!

Funny vid, BBT; I actually LOL'ed a couple times! Good stuff!

I think you mentioned this on the forum at some point; I know I stole the idea from someone!

I stuck a couple in my nymph box last year; it was probably on FFC(but not sure) where I read about someone catching trout on 'em. I find I have my best luck at this pond when I do a lot of fly switching; I looked in my box & figgered ,"Why not?" Like many things I tried, for a few minutes it seemed like the magic hook; then it went cold... I'll try it again, next time. Later, Steve

Got out to a pond today; got a bunch of 'bows, from 15-18". Most on chronnies, a couple on a plain red hook(bloodworm?), even got some on the dry. Seems like you just gotta keep switching up; put on something different, land a few fish, it stops working, switch again... Had a few real HOT ones that screamed off line, running & jumping like crazy; so much fun on my little 6ft 2wt!!! Some pics: On the dry... Computer enhanced... 'Twas a fun day!!! Later, Steve

Dang it, I had this posted in yer "double post", then you asked the mods to delete it! Good thing there's 'copy & paste'! Too bad the trout weren't a little more cooperative for y'all, Rick. Beautiful country down there, ain't it? Rode horses all around the ski hill area rounding up cattle for a weekend, each fall for 3 years; quite a few years ago. Only fished down there once; caught a bunch of cutties, saw a bull swim past my feet- so big, my heart palpitates just remembering it! Bet the fishing will be much better soon... Later, Steve

Heck, I don't let all those shortcomings bother me none!

Just spent a while going through photo galleries; HOLY CRAP!!! Some unbelievable shots; nice work! Later, Steve

I DON"T LIKE CHANGE!!! Seriously, I MUCH prefer the old look; this kinda looks...I dunno...not finished?

Starting to hail here at my house in the N.E.; sure hope it's not hitting any of the folks out for opening day on the creeks...

You are wise beyond your years, Grasshopper...

:crybaby:

Seven foot 2WT sounds about right; I've got a 6' TFO 2WT that I wish was a foot longer...

Had issues with trout not wanting to swim away at the pond I fished yesterday. Kinda makes me hesitant to fish there again; each one I caught was hard to revive. The fights were short(heavy tippet) & they were released quickly, but it took a lot of TLC to get them to swim away. I walked over to chat with the family that was fishing worm-n-bobber rigs down the shore, only to see 2 trout belly up on the bottom. Managed to retrieve the closest one & revive it. I'm fully aware that us C&R guys accidentally kill some fish, but I still don't like to see it... Later, Steve

Top-notch pics, Jeff, as always! Look forward to the next batch... Later, Steve

Nice pics! Gotta tell ya, though, ya really shouldn't post pics of yer BAIT(2nd pic)! Har-de-har-har! Looks like you guys had a good day; good on ya! Later, Steve

That's a dandy brown... What fly fooled the old fella?

Got out on a local stocked pond for a while today; managed to land a few fish, including the fattest 18" rainbow I've ever caught. Had some fun... This family was out enjoying the day... 18" porker...

Nice fish,Jeremie;love the brookie!

That is a slab of rainbow trout,Rob! Awesome!

Wow! Looks like y'all had a sweet day;good on ya! That is one hawg brown....awesome!

Exactly my point, Brian; much nicer looking than Bow River browns...

Gorgeous browns,beautifully photographed. Never seen a Bow River brown as beautiful as those;those shots really do them justice,Mitch. Nice work! Later, Steve

No bait allowed at Spruce Meadows,but a nymph or 2 under a small bobber would work, IF it's been stocked.

I wonder how many times that's been said at closing time???
