You're invited on a "One Fly" fishing contest

Recommended Posts

Troutguy,once upon a time in California a blue eyed old fart lost more fish than you'll ever land. You East Coasters only dream about the kind of fishing I have 60 to 90 minutes from my house. Keep on dreaming, pretty sure Nick is already started putting my name down as the inaugural winner!

I remind you all. Fishing Bob comes from the state where their Governor's only positive nickname is Moonbeam, marijuana is a required school subject and the floating radioactive Japanese sea debris was called foreign aide and environmental improvement to the Delta region.

Well people and you too Moonbeam Fishing Bob. My US Post Office tracking App tells me Nick received the winning flies yesterday.

 

AKA mine to clarify and for Moonbeam Nelson in California, oficina de correos entrega el paquete ayer. Tener un taco mientras construimos la pared. Oklahoma medios que Dios le destruirá con el viento.

tg, hardly bother with PO on weekend. They are open for one hour on Sat. and most of the time they don't bother to even get all the mail to the boxes if any people are at the window. One person there and she doesn't want to be there so she's not near as helpful or efficient as she is during the week when she's really great. Even sent a text to my wife that a rod had come in I'd been checking on for 3 days. Not many PO do stuff like that.

 

by the way, the fish in the stream we'll be fishing aren't going to care if you can communicate in another language. They are good old American natives and stockers and don't care what language you cuss after Bob and I win all the gold, with him right behind me.

Geez,I'm beginning to think badly about the other swappers. I can't believe that they have nothing to say. Maybe they are just going to let their fly do the talking.....

"Having a taco while we build the wall. Oklahoma means that God will destroy him with the wind." You are right about the winds of OK troutguy. Anything under 30mph is "light and variable".

 

Mike, before we blasted off on a bass tourney we'd have to idle by the starter barge and open the livewells and turn them on to both make sure they're able to function and empty. Maybe I should check the guys with the big chest bags and sling packs for hidden compartments with garden hackle. I gave serious thought to a Pistol Pete for the one fly but too many guys question it as a fly on fly only C&R waters like these are. A Pistol Pete would probably near double any catch we're going to have but it would just create a bunch of whiners at the weigh in and I'd rather win on a legitimate fly.

 

Will hope to find some nice flies at PO tomorrow.

I sent a dozen red worms pre-threaded on snelled bait holder hooks. Hope they keep fresh on their journey. Power bait seemed tacky

Well, if I find your package sitting outside the PO instead of in my cubbyhole I'll know they didn't make it. Power Bait is what makes so many White River guides experts. Stockers fight for it. Admitting I've never been a purist I'll admit a small spinner has caught me a lot of trout in years past, both standard and Pistol Pete versions.

Two more sets of nice flies in today from the psycoman and trout guy that should anyone well on other streams at time. Unfortunately, I don't see them winning any One Fly tournaments, but definitely quality flies.

Vic ... You KNOW you're gonna have a bunch of whiners at the weigh-in, anyway. In fact, they'll probably scream bloody murder when the "gravid" fish you weigh in start laying eggs that look like lead sinkers.
