Don't You Just Hate It When ....

[Saltamontes]

Anticipating your fishing trip next morning, you sit at the bench the night before and tie your "sure fly", then next morning you get up extra early and whip together a few more..... then load up your gear in your vehicle and head out. You get to your destination gear up, assemble your boat, you reach for the container you put your newly tied flies in, only to realize you left it sitting on your fly tying table............. GRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!! Frustrated, you drive to the nearest town to buy some of the patterns you tied, only to find out they are sold out !!!!!!!!!!!!

On the flip side, I managed O.K. caught numerous fish with other patterns, but really wanted to try what I had put together for the trip

Ya that sucks, but try leaving your rod at home. I've done that before too.

had the rod, had the flies. forgot the reel... had to use my 8wt instead. a little heavy for a full day of drifting and nymphing
