Thread: Stolen Gear Story

    Default Stolen Gear Story

    .


    Hi. I had a bunch of gear stolen along a river during an outing in May. I may have lost a lot of equipment, but I did manage to get a great true fish story out of the experience, which you all can read here:

    Silver lining, perhaps?

    fly fishing and baseball share a totally deceptive simplicity; that's why they can both be lifelong pursuits.

    Default Stolen Gear Story

    Ron, enjoyed the read. Wish I could say that I was not familiar with the "saga of missing gear". Never a pleasant experience, but thankful you were able to find a bright spot in you momentary dark experience.

    Cheers,

    Perhaps I waited too long. But, even after 11 years, I'm was reminded of a lesson and also read a very nice short story. So if you're still around Ron, thanks for sharing.
