    My Sasquatch costume. It's a bitch to wade and cast in.

    Trying to relive the old days, or a previous outing...

    It doesn't happen twice in a row because it isn't scripted and that is what makes every day on the water special. Go enjoy yourself and where you are in your flyfishing experience. Don't fret that others are in a different place both in skill and fishing ability. If you are fixated on trying to be someone else you will overlook all of the amazing experiences happening right in front of you. (This doesn't just apply to fishing in my experience)

    TD, that is cold hearted man. You've been scaring me off of a lot of really fishy looking water.

    common sense is my worst enemy.

    spending thousand of dollars just to play with a damned fish seems pretty damned stupid to me sometimes. It's a good thing I've won the battle against common sense hands down.

    My worst enemies:
    #1 Summer thermal issues
    #2 Having to pee while pursuing a fish
    #3 Getting bitten...somewhere, by mosquitoes while peeing, while pursuing said fish.

    I usually don't forget a face. But I'll make an exception in your case.

    Sorry Man - Scary Bear stories don't work in this state and you gotta protect your favorite spots somehow.

    A size 22 Scary Bear (or Sasquatch) bait fishing and smoking - the stub of which she (or he) will flick into the water, while voting Demodrat (or in some staes Repudlican) is BY FAR the scariest thing a fly fisherperson could encounter. Well, unless there's something else.

    At your age, Jim, that's called "macular degeneration." All those little bugs flying round are actually small bits of decomposing macular tissue, inside your eyeballs. Well most of them anyway. If they bite, maybe theyr'e for real! But I've got a near blizzard of those "floaters" in my eyes, and sometimes they're hard to ignore.
    Hey we got real bugs out here on the coast right now. I thought I saw a mosquito the other day!

    But I agree with those dang bugs being our worst enemies. I mean, every time I achieve a rare moment of drag free drift, it seems like some bug lands right next to my fly and the fish takes that instead!
    More fog!
