SanJuanWorm Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Well it's all starting again. It's that time of year. Shack NASTIES.......... Time to buy that winter coat. I still hate all of you. Especially BigBowTrout because he never took me fishing. Quote
Tungsten Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Shouldn't you be trying to sell that too bit motorcycle of yours so that you can make room for the jet boat? Quote
SilverDoctor Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Too early for the shack nasties, fishing too good, and anyway your cat needs repainting. Quote
dube Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Well despite the recent economic crisis I have been busier than hell this summer and my fishing expeditions have suffered greatly. I have had some unique fishing experiences such as a high country lake and probably one of my best days ever on the *******stone, but my number of days has been way down. So after working 12 hour days 7 days a week for the last I don't know how long I decided to take off yesterday to one of my old haunts up north to chase some grayling. This was the creek where I really learned how to flyfish and had great fun there. The grayling were easy and plentiful and thee was even the odd native rainbow thrown in for good measure. I chose to go there because it is far closer than any of the trunkroad rivers I usually like to fish and saw it as a chance to reconnect with my flyfishing roots. WHAT A LOUSY ROTTEN DAY. The fishing was horrible, the garbage and litter everywhere was unreal, the gun shots going off was unnerving, and it just generally sucked. The creek I liked to fish was very low and by the looks of it has not fared so well the last few winters. All the shrubs and bramble has done really well mind you. Caught plenty of willow. There are damn few wintering holes and it would seem they've been cleaned out. Along a giant stretch they have logged right down to the bank which was sad to see. I tried a few others in the neighborhood and didn't come up with much better results. I did come across a small lake with brookies in it but the entire shoreline is floating muskeg and not sure if any of you have had the pleasure of being out on it but it's a real treat let me tell you. O course the fishing were rising and splashing just beyond where I was able to cast so I figured I'd put on my waders and see if I couldn't get closer. Well' the one thing about floating muskeg and I do actually know better is that it starts on the actual shoreline and grows out so at times it could be over some pretty deep water. Anyway I walked out on it thinking I'm going to catch one of these suckers if it's the last thing I do, I came out to a point at the water edge and there were real thick weeds just below the surface, how deep could it be really? Knee deep? Instead of taking a stick or sitting my ass on the edge to check I just stepped in.....I went in right up to my armpits still not reaching the bottom which I'm sure now has at least 2 feet of loon *hit on it, filled my waders and had to do the emergency fallen through the ice maneuver to get out. It was a sad sad day of fishing. On a positive note the fall colors were starting to come out and that's worth something and as the old saying goes a lousy day spent fishing is still better than a good day at work. Besides I've been fishing long enough that I could have driven twice as far to fish my more "prestigious" rivers and still had a rotten day.....at least that's what I keep telling myself. Hopefully there are a few days left for me before the season is over. Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted September 26, 2009 Author Posted September 26, 2009 Shouldn't you be trying to sell that too bit motorcycle of yours so that you can make room for the jet boat? Which one? I have 4. I'll have to sell my girl's SUV to make room for the boat. Bus and a baby can't be all that bad can it? Quote
bigbowtrout Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 I still hate all of you. Especially BigBowTrout because he never took me fishing. Still lots of time to get out. Quote
Taco Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Don't take him fishin' until he repaints that freaky assed cat. Quote

Hopefully there are a few days left for me before the season is over. Oh yeah well I went out to my secret place and there were at least 15 other anglers there so I had to drive all over hell to find another spot. Then I get rigged up and see some rising fish, only to fall on a slippery rock, the fish go down and then a hurricane starts. I couldn't get a cast off for the life of me, so I left to do some yardwork. Quote
bhurt Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 There are people that come onto this forum that I wish I could dose in gasoline and set on fire, then they would diffently have something to bitch and complain about. Quote

So long story sort, I went up in flames. Quote

Andy, When I am fishing all next week everyday all day long I will be sure to remeber you too. BTW I am not 40 yet but I do feel my hair starting to thin out in some areas, I guess I need to get myself a head piece cause when the streamers aren't working I can always take it off put three hooks in it then I'll give a new meaning to chuckin cats and dogs.
