OneMoreLastCast Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Get back on track as far as the things I usually do annually.... 1. Steelheading 2. More Kamloops area lake fishing in the Spring/Early Summer 3. Tie more over the Winter months....(So far, not so good) Also going to work on getting my two Daughters out more now that they are less dependant and actually want to come along. One last one might be a long shot, but I'd like to try to get published again since it's been quite awhile. Outside of Fishing....Work less so I can fish more.

reevesr1 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 1. Never post when angry 2. Don't let a fishing board get me angry 3. Become more proficient at fishing dry flies (which isn't much of a target) 4. Practice dry flies on southern streams when cutts are hungry, so I can pretend to be proficient 5. Get wife more involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weedy1 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 1.0 To continue to try to piss off Rickr. 2.0 To never smoke again. 3.0 To spend more time in the mountains in the coming years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Catch a big salmon in Alaska in June Catch a 30" rainbow in stillwater Catch the elusive 28" brown on the Bow The last two are probably more like life goals than resolutions - but hey, you gotta aim high.

alhuger Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Brett, lets go find some Gerards in the spring If you end up fishing for them in the kootneys let me know, I have some good patterns for gerards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alhuger Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 As for fishing: 1. Fish for springs and coho in the summer in northern BC. 2. Fish square, brigade and white lake this year. 3. Figure out lake fishing with my new two hander. 4. Fish the seymour again and this time not get stuck in quicksand. 5. Learn how to actually consistently catch on the bow. There is more (there always is) but this are the big one with 1 and 5 being my most important ones. -al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoreLastCast Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Brett, lets go find some Gerards in the spring Done....I'll let you know when I'm going and you do the same, those poor "Cross Breeds" won't know what hit them. Definitely hitting the Kamloops Lakes starting in April and the others I'll be hitting in May can't be posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen, ya SOB. I know you think you're funny and all but I'm frankly getting a bit tired of you pushing my buttons. Out of curiosity, if you break your New Years Resolution before the New Year even starts, does that count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish with the grandkids more than last year Stay at the trailer lot near Pincher long enough so the neighbors here in town will wonder if maybe we moved Take way too many pictures of anything outdoors .. fishing and otherwise Out fish adc more than he out fished me in 06 and 07 Push adc into The Weir in late October if I fail ... just for the helluva it! (Camera in hand of course!) Fish Police once in the fall to get a handle on spring '09 ... assuming we get the reg change. .. with power to add to the list as the year unfolds.

cheeler Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 1. Get in better shape to head out to some farther bully and lake spots. 2. Really get the speycasting down so I can do it in my sleep. 3. Beat my 28" rainbow caught at Lower K. 4. Continue to let fly fishing be a relaxing, meditative experience. 5. Find a wide pair of wading boots that will stop #*#@*# up my feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
