Rilo KileyMost played on my iTunes and I always have a few CD’s from them running in the CD player…. Mostly because they are stuck, and the fishing vehicle needs a new CD player. Although Sirius is calling my name.
Tim,
Not me, but our friend Mark Stephenson is heading your way shortly.
Take plenty of pics.Mike E. Let me know when I can tag on an Ohio trip.
If I look back at the last 20 years of my fly fishing career, I appear to have fun in more concentrated doses these days. Grown up responsibility BS really screws with the fishing!
So I’ll still take blanked over not getting out!
if you guys get up this way, let me know.
While the flies are big and very nicely tied, the pizza, to me is the heart of the post. Such a good looking pie.
anything where I am not going to see anyone, and catch some fish.
with that being said, I really enjoy small streams for natives.
I think PJ what your finding speaks more to other issues. Where newstands and magazine racks *used* to be chock full of Bullit and Hook media… It’s been supplanted by other stuff,I could easily buy 5 diferent muscle mags at every stand. It almost seems like a closet industry.
We ARE a closet industry, I think.
I was talking to a co-worker (who’s probably in his late 40’s) about a recent grouse trip he took to WI. He was commenting to his partner that they’ve been going up there for 25 years. Back then, they were the youngest guys that they ever ran into out in the woods. And now, they’re STILL the youngest guys that they ever run into in the woods.
I think there’s hope to drag a few of the younger folks in (hell, at 36 I still consider myself kinda young), but the lure of the Xbox360 is strong. Who wants to go freeze their arse off in a stretch of bug infested water trying to fool fish you’re not going to keep anyway with a bunch of chicken feathers stuck to a hook? Why not stay home, play Rapala Tournament Fishing, and stick in Halo3 when it gets boring (like it always does?)
I don’t envy the editors at all. You cater to the “how-to” crowd and run articles on nymphing techniques. Then get hatemail from the “dry fly only” crowd who wants more pictures of the Firehole. So you do a “Western extravaganza” and get blasted by the guys stuck in Wisconsin who say you never give anything but trout coverage. So you run articles on …..
Nope. I’ll stick to doing what I do, thanks.
to me catching fish with a bunch of chicken feathers is tons of fun, and catching that dang fish is proving to me that I am still smarter than that animal.
