reevesr1 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Yeah I was thinking about it. I'm off work for 3 weeks on pat leave. Birchy, Pat leave=helping wife with baby, not fishing with MTB. By the way, he is a jinx. Do not fish with him, you won't catch anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenbow Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I can categorily disprove this about MTB, but I won't. Good luck today, guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure paternity leave is like WCB ; they'll have an investigator out with a video camera checking up on you. If you're not changing diapers, doing laundry, etc. , they'll revoke your paternity leave & make you pay back any benefits you have received. DO NOT GO FISHING!!! Hopefully, by now you've already caught a couple bigguns! Tightlines, fellas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reevesr1 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 so lets see here, he catches fish with Glenbow, catches fish with Birchy, catches fish with Toolman, catches fish with bigbadbrent, but doesn't catch fish with me. There is a constant in this, but I'm at a loss to figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreLastCast Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Rick, you caught some that day with Max, your buddy and me way downstream.... Oh yeah, I added what you guys were saying that day with Max and the boys. I think this picture is way better than the one with You, Max and me pointing.

reevesr1 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Can anyone help me clean up the coffee I just spit all over my screen and keyboard? Oh and Brett, I notice that you gave BBB some flies. I am also noticing a distinct lack of newly tied flies in my flybox..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdock Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 We caught a bunch man!! You must be thinkin of a different MTB.. What and how many? I should have ditched dinner for some fishing. But I haven't seen my mom for awhile so I made the right choice. I can still be envious though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birchy Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 I may have been exagerrating a little bit.. haha. I only landed one.. and lost another one. MTB was hooking fish on pretty much every single cast.. it was crazy. But they were taking little tiny baetis nymphs and he couldn't get good hooksets with the size 22 imitations.

OneMoreLastCast Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Tough hook sets indeed. Aside from the few I landed, (Little guys I tried to shake off but couldn't), the fish would either shake the little size 22 or snap the light tippet I had to use with the little hooks. Still a day on the Bow with a new fishin' buddy is better than a lot of other options out there. Looks like I'm going to have to spend the extra cash on better quality tippets. The "Frog Hair" I used and ran out of the day before held up much better than the tippet I used yesterday for sure. Now there's quite a few of my flies being advertised as what "Not to eat" swimming around the Fish Creek area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoreLastCast Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Oh, as for flies Rick. I'm heading back up North on Monday, so I'll be tying to kill time. I should have some available for Christmas. You'll have to buy them from GlenBow though. I think I'll put together a "MTB Bow River Set" for him to peddle. As long as you don't take them into any of the fly shops in town again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
