monger Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I was lucky enough to go on a fully guided trip with Mr. Bobloblaw. After hours of walking through the fields searching for the perfect flower, we finally arrived at the water where his mastery with the fly rod was allowed to shine. The poor fish are no match for this fellow. The evening highlight was when Bob hooked this fish and the sky exploded: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveM Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I don't think that was the sky exploding. It was my head, from trying to figger out what them thar persnickity trout wanted to eat! At least we fooled enough of 'em to keep it interesting. BTW, I thought the highlight was that nice brown you got on your "Anorexic Beetle". Or, maybe it was you putting on that "catching minnows on dry flies" clinic. Either way, it was a fun evening! I don't know if we found the perfect flower, but that Horsemint was pretty kewl; sure had an interesting flavor. Stolen from the interwebs: "Some of horsemint’s uses are the same as peppermint and spearmint and other herbs in the mint family. All of its above ground parts can be used and made into an infusion. This herb tea can be drunk for a variety of digestive disorders including PMS cramps, stomach ache, flatulence, bloating, and indigestion and so on. It is also a carminative which means it either prevents formation of gas in the gastrointestinal tract or facilitates the expulsion of any gas in your system. Used in a pot of beans you can combat the effects of the beans on your stomach from making gas." I told my wife about the anti-flatulence properties of Horsemint. She took GPS coordinates for the area & left; said she's picking it all!!! Guess I'll be having Horsemint in EVERYTHING from now on... (I'll add a few pics when I get time...)

SteveM Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 he was snagged on a rock because his dry fly sank and you just happened to hit the pic at the same time. beauty shot Funny you should say that, Brian. Monger said,"Snag a rock so it looks like you have a fish on..." I said,"I would, but it's kinda hard to do with a dry fly...Ha-ha-ha!!!" A second later, "Fish on!" It was a fat little 'bow; nice of him to do his part. BTW, fishMonger, another highlight of the evening: teriyaki elk jerky on the drive home- good stuff! You accidentally left the last couple pieces in my car. I accidentally ate 'em... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 A few pics: Monger's brown trout... Even the minnows aren't safe when Monger's on the prowl... Obligatory flower shot... I made a friend... Sunset on the creek... Looks much better without me blocking the view!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monger Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 Elk jerky is a tip I give to all the "good guides". Especially ones that allow me to complete the Nose creek grand slam complete with a Chub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
