Boy, I'm sure glad I brought my BIG NET. I hear the bluegill in this stream are HUGE!
big dead tree has a labyrinth as a root system.
You can't tell it from the picture that the shallow water
drops off radically from 6 inches to about 4 feet deep.
I better get that Charmin-to-go out.
As Bubba stalked that 8" brookie, he kept thinking, if I could just get a little closer I know I can bring him to my 24" net.
He finally, after two hours of stalking, reached the optimum position to present his dressed #10 Muddler Minnow. This was it, the moment of truth!
His Muddler plopped, the trophy brookie took immediately. Bubba, being totally stoked, ripped his hook set upward, striking the broken tree immediately above him and sent it crashing down on his all ready throbbing noggin!
As he lay soaked to the bone in his penultimate stretch of home waters, with a big knot forming on his upper cranium, he exlaimed "this is what fly fishing is all about".
He slowly dragged himself to dry land, ripped open his humongous backpack (which contained a full case of Budweiser) and sated his wicked thirst and cursed the fly fishing gods! After about 10 of those "King of Beers" he attained philisophical Nirvana and stumbled back to his Corolla shouting "you'll come to an untimely end my fontanalis friend, when your belly meets my buttery frying pan!
He thought, while attempting to keep the "trout wagon" on his side of the road, "this is a day I will never forget"!
So the guide kept telling me to watch my backcast -- but I wasn't supposed to get my fly caught up in that tree for the seventh time either -- now he's telling me to mend my line -- don't spook the fish -- try to lay my line onto with the water without such a splash -- something about getting a better turnover with my leader -- a better presentation -- but when he yelled "Set the hook" I SET THE HOOK
I got to go Peeee I got to go Peeeeee !!!!! damn waders .. ohhhh Brook trout 12 o:clock damn I got to go Peeee ......
Make a perfect cast, fly will be in the zone for a nanosecond, a nanosecond is only 0.000000001 second, so I'm counting on you Mr. Brown! Please don't let me down! Like Ray said "I gotta peeeee!"
