The next person to post ... A game

[fcch]

Back to Diane's Game of a while ago, ... We're beating back the cabin nasties so ...

Remember the rules ...

Oh ,... if no one can answer in 24 hours, ... anyone can jump in with a new TNPTP

Here goes ...

The Next person to post in this thread has taken a family member fishing (in the past year or two).

My father is a shut-in, confined to a wheel chair.
While we don't actully fish, one one of his favorite things to do is get some sandwiches and head to a local trout stream and watch others fish.
It's a lot easier to make a perfect peresentation or cover a rise if you're just sitting on the bank and fishing in your mind.

The next person to post has had a run-in with a wild beasty while fishing


Good idea Chris..

[gqualls]

Happened two years ago in the BWCA. Me and some other guys were eating some lunch sitting around camp and a bear, some 30 feet away, decides to join us. I think he was just following his nose because when he saw us, he ran.


TNPTP .... has been so cold while fishing that they've buried a hook in their finger and didn't even know it.

Dudley, ... It was Diane's idea a while ago

gqualls ... Been there, ... donit. We used to get to fish right up until the 31st of october. Not the arctic here ... but snow squalls and severe icing in the rod guides were normal for the periode.

A nice 12 inch brookie, ... slide my hand down the leader to let it go, ... false move with the rod hand and the barbless hook zipped into my index finger.

I saw it, ... knew I was lightly hooked and had a detached feeling from the scene as I couldn't feel it.

TNPTP has already been fishing in the 2007 calender year (you lucky Dawgs)

[Gnu Bee Flyer]

My first fish was a 3 inch Kokanee , man what an epic struggle. I was forced to let him go as they are closed In Okanagan lake. Tears in my eyes I said goodbye to probably my biggest fish of the upcoming season .

TNPTP has had a perfect day without a single wind knot or snag in the bushes.

I was flyfishing with my Brother inlaw, first time flyfisher, I was catching fish, but Ken wasn't hooking any! I couldn't take it anymore, I looked at his fly and the hook was broken in half, probably a rock.
TNPTP had a BIG fish ALMOST to the net.

Was fishing a Trophy Trout stream and had about a 24" rainbow to the net when I stepped into some really cold water that poured into my hip boot. Got too excited when I saw the size of the fish forgot I didn't have my chest waders on. Jumped back and immediately broke off the fish.

TNPTP - has NEVER fallen in while fishing.

[Ron Eagle Elk]

Finally, one of these I can add to. Nope, over 40 years wading and I've never fallen in (some serious knocking on wood here).

TNPTP has bamboo fever really bad.

Hate to interrupt but I've got to say ..... 40 years of wading and you've never fallen in. Wow! That has got to be a record somewhere. You da man!!!

[Catch 22]

I got the fever. I won't go into details in case my wife reads this...

TNPTP must flyfish saltwater.
