Here is a humorous perspective from one of my chicklets on how daddy goes fishing.
Background: I was trying to learn how to cast my spey rod at our nearby beach.
Clarification: I'm told the fish and birds pictured are laughing.

Once open, click the rotate clockwise button. Sorry!

That sums it up nicely

I've got boys and somethings you just throw away after awhile, but that's a keeper. I have a couple of flies my 6yr old son tied for me on my desk...Kids are truely priceless.

 

[docstash]

Must have been quite windy Ed.

 

[shotgunner]

She nailed your grim determined expression..LOL.. Thanks for the grin.

 

[Cruncher]

That HAS to get framed!!!

 

[Eric Tarcha]

that is just priceless...

something like this buoys my hopes that all these sleepless nights I am enduring right now will be more than "worth it".

 

[Mark Walker]

PRICELESS!! Very cute!
Looks like you're being "mooned" in the background. Oh wait..those are birds.:rofl::rofl::rofl:

 

[doublecluck]

Yes it is - it's obviously helping your kids deal with your Spey Affliction!

Thanks M - definitely good for a laugh.

That's great.

Interestingly that drawing looks similar to one on Scott o'Donnell site describing the secrets to casting with a 2 hander..................http://speywater.com/Spey_Casting.html

 

[Out of Here]

Say, that's pretty good!

Thanks all, will be looking at that one in my cubicle. Rob, Eric, your time is coming soon, you know I'm right. Docstash, regret to admit no wind and the waves were barely noticable either. I'm not sure what that look on my face is Shotgunner, probably embarassment, maybe my cheeks should be red. I'm glad there is not thought or word bubble above my head with things that a chicklet should not be exposed to. Brian, they tolerate me very well. Mark, mistaking birds for butts? My angels would never draw pictures of butts.

Kerry, you are right on the money. It was that drawing of how to excecute the proper spey cast (and its associated chaotic appearance) that reminded me of her drawing. I had joked about it and she filed it away in her "art box" that we have for each girl. They pick and choose what gets kept and what hits the recycle bin. I figured this one got recycled, but I searched through her box and there it was.

If I could get that photo small enough it might be an appropriate avatar. Thanks all, it is good to get a laugh, and I'm okay with being laughed at so it is all good.

editd - accidental duplicate. DOh

 

[jcnewbie]

That was a total riot....still chuckling 1/2 hour later when I visualize it again!!!

Jc

 

[Leroy Laviolet]

perfect Ed!
And the new cast is called...??

 

[Mumbles]

Not mine to name, got to develop it, cast it and teach it to claim and name it. Options include: Birdsnest, Cobweb, Tangleweb or Restraining Order Cast. Next time out I'm asking the misses to bring along the video camera...Funniest Home Videos is still paying out for embarssing one's self and making people laugh. I'm a shoe in for that money!

 

[dryflylarry]

That is Sweet! Someday your child will have the opportunity to draw a large fish on the beach when you land one! According to the drawing, you got tangled up a couple of times?!!
