I tried explaining to this woman, I am fishing a conventional that is why the reel is on top. She refused to listen and told me how it just felt "right" to have the spinning reel on top because that is what her husband taught her...........( I think she was getting weirded out when I started snapping off pictures) lol

Bar either your PM box is full or you can't receive any PM's....

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

I had a googan moment this year.

I stopped at a tiny spot and hear fish slapping the water. I grab my fly rod and start casting and pulling out line so I can cast. My first cast hits the water and I immediatly hook up only to have the line wrap on the reel and break off. I didn't have anymore flies with me either.


I also once insisted on jumping between rocks when it was safer to just clim b down and climb up. Sure enough I jump, slip, then slid down the rock and tear a good 12 inch hole in my waders.
