Hi, I am a high school teacher in Deer Lodge, MT. Obviously I love to fish, or I wouldn’t be on a board like this. I have two young daughters that love to “pet” and release the fish that I catch. Although the older one, a kindergartener, dosen’t really like it when I catch big fish for some odd reason.
I noticed that I had this board bookmarked for some reason, I think that one of the members (Lando)told me about it and I never really used it. I used to be a member of other boards and enjoyed them, but some of the software at the school won’t let me post to them for some reason. I guess the don’t want students chatting on some of the sites that are out there. However, for some reason it looks like I will be able to post on this site.
I know a few of your members. I mentioned Lando, and he is definately the “alpha hippie.” Lando and I went to college and worked together, and fortunately (or unfortunately?) got me started fly fishing. Up until that time I did it a little, but mostly threw spinners. Last year I met Joel and the few times we’ve got together he seems like a great guy, with a pretty sweet job.
Oh yeah…. that part in the beginning about catching fish was almost completely a lie, I don’t remember the last time I caught a fish, and I have never caught anything “big.” I only tell you this because I am sure when Lando and Joel read that part they we’re thinking to themselves, “what a lier.”
Hi Bill……….part of the initiation process is to show a photo of a small fish.
You know the one………that pig from Colorado.
Here is Bill.
Bill is just one of the names that Lando has for me. But there is a good story behind most of them.
That was a nice fish… Colorado has all the big ones. Don’t let anyone tell you any different.
The real story is that I am part retarded and blew the line up inside of the reel on the mooching rod that we were using in the ocean. While the pissed off guide was trying to fix my massive screw up. I decided to try a fly rod in the ocean. Ended up getting that king. The reel on the rod had absolutely no drag, the line would just free spool out. Nearly burnt a hole in the palm of my hand, but well worth it.
And Lando… you can keep your avatar I look pretty cute in it. ;D
Nice fish !
It would be more fun to piss guides off if it wasn’t so easy !

A picture is thousand words that takes less than a second while a thousand words is a picture that takes a month.
Bill……….just post the one that Joel took………and you can tell us a little about your roadtrip to CO.
If you need help on how to post a photo, let me know.
I will try to post tomorrow on how Clint got the name Bill.
Can’t tell you exactly where in Colorado you would go to catch a fish like this. It doesn’t really matter though…. all of the fish in Colorado look like this
…. and a try at a photo posting
That’s a cute little guy…..
Keep it up Bill —GPS coordinates are next.
That IFA hat must be really lucky for you.

You must be from wyoming if you’re saying that
Alpha Hippy?????- all I see is a cute cleancut guy and another guy in need of a haircut and a shave !!!!! both holding salmonids. I thought all the serious old school hippies were off chasing redfish/channel cats/carp on the fly and had long ago passed on mainstream fish like trout:)))) Ah well:))

Clint it is about time you showed up here! That sure was a nice bow you caught in…umm Colorado. I was sure glad I was there with my camera!
Lando is that you standing next to Clint? Man you are a hippie! 🙂
