Christmas Wishes Thread

[Guest Sundancefisher]

To all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope everyone gets a healthy happy family for Christmas as well as a few fishing toys!

 

Here is a Christmas fishing poem. Cheers!

 

Sun

 

Twas the day before christmas and all through the state

The salmon and steelhead were getting ready to mate

And down by the river where salmonids run

All the fisherman were getting ready for fun

 

I dreamed of my truck with fifty rods in the bed

And of millions of salmon making their redds

But when I got to the river what did I see

Fifty million gear chuckers slinging buzz bombs at me

 

So I tried to be kind and courteous to all

And waded down to spot trying not to fall

I peered down in the water and tried to make out

Any shape that looked fishy that I could take out

 

On my first back cast my fly got caught in a tree

And I had to climb up to get it free

When I returned to my spot what did I see

Not one, but three guys grinning at me

 

So I got in my car a drove away from there

To a secret spot that no one would dare

I hiked over hill and down a steep cliff

hoping that I wouldn't fall or slip

 

The river was peaceful and solice was mine

as I strung up my rod for n'th time

When around came the bend a guided jet boat

Which stopped in the spot my fly was going to float

 

I cried in despair, this just isn't fair

As I reached up and pulled out all of my hair

In anger I broke my rod down to the wire

Got home, still mad, I fed it to the fire

 

But thank god that it's christmas cause what do I see

A sage 8 wt XP waiting for me

I thought to myself as I unwrapped the package

Of all of the salmon that this baby would manage

 

So happy christmas to you and a happy new year

And may you all get a ton of new fishing gear

 

Happy Holidays!
