reevesr1 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I have a pretty long streak of catching a fish on the Bow every month. I think I'm at around 2 yrs and 3 months or so (which coincides with when I started fly fishing), not exactly sure because I didn't really pay attention at first. If I wanted, I could probably track it by fishing reports, but that would take too much work. Whatever the case, the streak is pretty long. So looking at the forecast out to Dec. 30, the highest temp is -4 on the 29th and 30th I'm not the biggest fan of guaranteed iced up guides and fishing in slush, but it's looking like I'll have to deal with it to keep this thing going. Hope the forecast isn't too wrong, or I may be forced to pull a Hawgstoppah and go out when it's really cold just to catch one trout. I'm getting real tired of this. On the bright side, my mom is coming up this week. She's never been to Canada in the winter. She's probably never been north of Dallas in the winter! I'm thinking of parking far away from the terminal when I pick her up just for the fun of it! I'll probably chicken out though. As funny as it would be, I'd hear about it forever. Anyway, it will be fun to watch her reaction. Maybe I'll take her fishing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reevesr1 Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 I would complain about the speed at which this post has been hijacked, but I could see where some might find that a tad hypocritical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headscan Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 So looking at the forecast out to Dec. 30, the highest temp is -4 on the 29th and 30th I'm not the biggest fan of guaranteed iced up guides and fishing in slush, but it's looking like I'll have to deal with it to keep this thing going. Hope the forecast isn't too wrong, or I may be forced to pull a Hawgstoppah and go out when it's really cold just to catch one trout. Hell, if it gets as high as -4 I may have to head out as well. I've been off work the past week and seriously jonesing to get on the water. Not that -4 is great, but if you give a starving man a saltine he'll think it's as good as a Ritz...

regdunlop Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 If it makes you feel any better Rickr my streak is going to end this month too. I was 11 for 11 so far this year, but I haven't been out in December and now I'm out of town and not back until the new year. Oh well, guess I'll just start up again in Jan '09.
