mine is done, but drying before i take pictures, got to run out for a few hours. will post later this evening

how the hell did you do that. amazing!!!!

awww. i'm leaving on the 4th. i'm going to have to pass on this one.

my worst day... which depending on how look at it is either really bad or not so bad i went fishing with my brother on his bayliner for salmon. i am 25 years younger than him, so i was probably about 9 or 10. he was taking a client fishing and he brought his daugther which is why i got the invitation. she was about the same age. my brother rigs us both up and drops the lines with the downriggers and away trolling we go. we each got a rod to babysit. dont ask me how it happened but it turns out my rod goes and i reel in a nice sized sole about the size of a deflated football. keep in mind this was probably about the 3rd fish i had caught on my own ever... i was very excited and couldnt wait to get back and show my dad what a great little fisher i was... again, keep in mind i was about 10 and really an only child. not used to sharing. my brother says, nice fish... i was so proud. it was the only fish caught that day (dog fish dont count) and then my brother made me give my fish to the other little girl so she wouldnt feel bad.

take a look at this. http://www.flyfishingtheworld.net/ you will have to look for the trip log and read his posts about fishing there.

perhaps the machine needed to be recalibrated. too funny. i would have liked to have been there for that conversation. officer - excuse me sir, do you know why i have asked you to pull over Tako - no officer - sir, have you been drinking Tako - no, why officer - well, it appears you forgot to put your pants on, and why aren't you wearing any shoes? and why is your shirt tied to the box of your truck Tako - i was out fishing, when this porcupine ate my good waders, so i had to use my rubber ones and then i slipped, because the rubber isnt very good for wading... so you see officer, it was all the beaver's fault, which is why i am driving nearly naked after dark inspite of the 5 degree temperature... officer - riiiightttt. would you mind stepping out of the vehicle, slowly and taking a breathalizer Tako (takes breathalizer) officer- .01. humm there must be something wrong Tako - no really, i havent been drinking officer - (to another officer) could you try this, i dont think it is reading right. different officer - takes breathalizer - .01 Tako - see, i told you officer - ok sir, have a good night, and please. next time, bring a change of clothes, you really shouldnt be driving around without a shirt, shoes and pants.

WHAT!! HARRY!!!!! you were at the show and you didnt come and see me

impressive... in my next life maybe

i cant say that i have ever experienced anything THAT bad. my story of getting hung up on a ledge and needing to do the spiderman impersonation to get down with 2 rods in my teeth pales in comparison. so how did the breathalizer go

i think you need professional help

snazzy, i think that would work. too bad the river is a little frozen at the moment

great story. it really is amazing what is swiming around. while snorkling back to the beach a few weeks ago, i came across 1, 4ft baracuda, a large sting wray, an octopus and a school of jelly fish. of course i had to find the jelly fish. the baracuda scared the crap out of me when it stopped and looked at me before going on about his business. the wray was in about 3 ft of water 20ft from the beach with people almost standing on the poor thing. i'd rather keep my face in the water.

cows... dont forget cows. silly me, left my old 8wt out overnight. woke up the next morning to a heard in my campsite and the cow moving in on my rod. got the rod out of danger just as the cow was wrapping her lips around it

Mr. B, are you finished school yet? i need a place to drink, tie flies and a leader

and a yellow rod, i'd pay to see that. rick in drag

oh, wes, is the amount in lieu of the deductible? i will ask my auto guys tomorrow because that sounds kind of hinky

i thought the deadline was this past sunday. i do believe i have a pattern in mind and i will pay homage to someone we all know and love if i can find what i am looking for in my pile of books

i had a rebuttle. damn the closed threads LOL

neat. i think pike will like them lots

would the girlfriend mind if i came over... and watched movies

wesg, i have never heard of that before. very strange. i could ask a few of my home and auto co-workers tomorrow if you want

i was late, mine didnt want to start either so i had to get a jump. went on until a little after 9. i need one of his dubbing loop thread spinner things that he has. now that is cool. and now i need new materials... rhea... or whatever it is. damn it

long cold winter nights, no fishing just tying. you know you need to clean your tying bench when you have marabou clinging to the bottom of the scotch glass and hackle feathers in your fries...

look????? u missed a good demo tonight
