So moved to this fishing paradise of Vancouver Island, have had zero time, money or opportunity to take my poor fly rods out of their cases since I got here. Finally, have a buddy who's going, has room and is willing to let me tag along. Oops...no waders. They're still in Newfoundland for another couple weeks. Buddy has extra but they're stocking foot and I have no boots....sorry running shoes, but I'm too fat and lazy to run anyway Crap...how do I meet them at the Tim's in Langford for 7? No car, the buses don't run until 9am on sundays and last time I left my bike in that parking lot for more than 5 minutes I rode home with no seat (damn punks).... so I ask you...do you ever get the feeling the fishing God's are not your best friends?

Oh...since this is the learning experience section, the lesson is don't leave ANY fishing gear anywhere...always have a pair of waders on hand
