Hey Jude,
Hope you were blessed on your B-Day with many fish, and some happy memmories to go with them.
It says right here in my Flyfisherman's Bible, that when fishing on your Birthday, if you safely release all the fish you catch, that they in turn will be re-gifted back to you on a slow fishing day.
Wow!!! I'm all for that, I know that there's been a couple really slow days I've prayed for just one or two fish to eat my fly.
Since you didn't mention it, you must have left your Birthday present, you know that really big Brown Trout God gives you on your Birthday, in the river as a gift for somebody else's B-Day. How totally unselfish you are.
Riverdancer, next time you need a wingman on the river, or just a net guy, let me know!
