Dumb Move

The first person to guess my dumb move, on a fishing trip, Will get 6 yellow boa yarn flies from me.

Rick

This might prove interesting.

PS - no guess

You either forgot the rods or the flys, plus forgot to pack the waders.

I bet you forgot to pick up your fishing buddy!
Adios Philip 43

you forgot your fish basket

My last dumb move was to lock myself out of my pick up. Thankfully it was in an area with cell coverage. But the possibilities are endless.

You forgot to invite me? :D
You forgot your anchors? You forgot your canoe? You forgot to close one of the gates and let all the cows out?
You forgot to wear sunglass and/or hat and/or sunscreen...and got sunburned?
You forgot to use proper lifting techniques on your canoe and put your back out?

Did you launch the canoe without loading the paddles?

Forgot your fishing license like I did a week ago and remembered it after two casts on a nice little lake off the Blue Ridge Parkway at the Peaks of Otter Lodge. Luckily nothing attacked the fly before I had to quit for the day. Reckon two casts beats none at all unless you get a ticket for fishing without a license.

You forgot your flies?

Caught a nice smallie on that lake - wouldnt you love to put a canoe on that thing????? I asked and was told NO! gotta be a way.....

My guess would be you forgot something.......

The dumbest thing I did (that I will admit to) is forget the drain plug in the boat. The severity of this error is compounded by how far from shore you are when it is discovered.....................

Rainbowchaser got it. pm me your address.

I bet no one has any idea how I knew of that one! Thanks Rick.

Hi Rick,

It's good to know I'm not the only one who does stuff like that. A fiasko for me was forgetting floatant and my dry flies, the ones that would have matched the mayfly hatch that was going on. I watched nice bluegills take the dun mayflies 10 feet away....and no floatant. I had a mosquito pattern that was in the ballpark size wise, and after one fish it wouldn't float, and I was done for.

Regards,

Gandolf

No plug in the back of the boat?

The flies arrived today. I'll have to give them a try soon. Thanks again Rick.
