Will Someone Teach Me To Fly Fish?

[SanJuanWorm]

It's been a long ass time.

[darrinhurst]

Welcome to fatherhood.

[SanJuanWorm]

Haha well said.

[bigalcal]

May I suggest dry flies? ............................. That's what I thought!!!!!

[Taco]

WTF ?

 

 

That you Pinky?

[bhurt]

Sorry I don;t teach anyone that has man-boobs......

[troutlover]

sooo then you wouldn't teach yourself??

 

[reevesr1]

SJW,

I'm sure you must need some new flies, or maybe a lesson or two? Check out the Streamwatch auction and "direct" some of your winter earnings that way! An excellent way to get back into the sport........

 

I can't do anything for man boobs though--but maybe you'd like some ladies rainwear?????? Item 27 I think.

[LynnF]

If'n you quit riding crotch rockets and learned what your priorities are, you wouldn't be in this predicament.

[Taco]

Jesus Christ, two strangers on one thread, now if we get Clive to post here too we can have an old home week

 

BTW; It was use of his crotch that got'em into this predicament.....SJW that is

[LynnF]

Didn't I see Clive somewhere in another thread as I was reading through late last night? He surely must have lost my email....haven't heard from him since 1985

 

Gonna fish the Bow with us this year Cowboy? Will this be the year? Got a funky new boat you'd look good parked in the back in

[Taco]

Twist my arm just a little bit and I'd lower myself to fish the Bow

 

What youse get for a new hole in the water?

oh ya , nice ride , i even like the colours , good for you ,

[ladystrange]

step one, take stiff but flexi pole and run some string run through it

 

step 2 next - tie a curved pointy thing that has fur, feathers or some such stuff stuck to it on to the end of the string.

 

step 3 add, lead weights close to the point thing to make it sink faster and a brightly coloured thingy to the other end to make it float

 

remember testicles, specticles, wallet and watch - go to fast flowing water thing, that flows through town, we call it the bow in case you forgot, otherwise step 5 cannot occur

 

step 4 hold your rod firmly and fling the string, floaty thing, weights and cruved point object at the water and wait patiently for a fish to mistake the pointy thing with fur/feathers etc for a food item

 

step 5 if all goes well the fish will impale itself in the mouth. this is now cause for excitement!!

 

if nothing happens - repeat step 4 until step 5 happens

 

plastic bags will give head shakes, rocks and trees dont. no need for excitement - repeat step 4

 

hooking grass, dogs, kids, trees, shopping carts, birds, bats, golf balls, skeletal remains or beavers does not count, skip to step 6 and - repeat step 4

 

if fish mistakes the floaty thing as the point thing, the fish is defective and you didnt want it anyway - repeat step 4,

 

at this point you may add pointy thing to floaty thing to try to out smart the defective fish - repeat step 4,

 

if you take a friend and get tangled in his string, skip to step 6 and then - repeat step 4

 

step 4.1 - nothing is happening... change type of pointy thing - repeat step 4

step 4.2 - still nothing... add more weight - repeat step 4

step 4.3 - zzzzz... take off weight - repeat step 4

step 4.4 - really?!? still nothing - change placement of floaty thing - repeat step 4

step 4.5 - getting frustated - rather than change type of pointy thing, add another one - repeat step 4

step 4.6 - take a moment to breath - repeat step 4

step 4.7 - wind gust of 90k, string goes in opposite direction while flinging, hooking yourself - this does not count - skip to step 6 and repeat step 4

step 4.8 - throw stick thing in to the bush behind you, jump up and down, yell at friend - repeat step 4

step 4.9 - hummm, still nothing, eh? take all the stuff you tied to your string off replace with different a heavier string attatchment and a heavier pointy thing (no floaty thing) or add only a pointy thing that floats - repeat step 4

 

Step 6 - reel fish in, release and repeat step 4 or realize why its been so long and go home

 

 

[bigbowtrout]

hold your rod firmly and fling

 

That's what she said

[ladystrange]

That's what she said

 

:$*%&:

 

it is the most important part of step 4... limp grip and results in poor sensitivity and an under powered action causing improper flexation of the rod thus equalling inadquet range and a really bad delivery

 

why waste the time and the effort on limp, firm is best when handling anyone's rod

[Tungsten]

I think you have 4.1 and 4.4 mixed up.One should only change pointy thing after its bin up and down awhile.

[SanJuanWorm]

I actually tied up about 100 SJW's. I'm gonna do some caddis here soon. I'll get on that river.

We were on the river yesterday.

I have never seen a midge hatch like the one yesterday morning

Clouds of bugs that looked like Trico columns.
