This should get Deanna fired up

you must be tired I expected a better one liner that that lol
The wife and I were on the Bighorn last year and she was rowing and I was up in front when another driftboat came by with the guy up front and his lady at the sticks. He looked over and said, “I guess we married right.” I just had to nod in agreement.

JC- I know that LF can row circles around most of the guys on this board 
And that ain’t no joke either… 
The best one I have ever seen was Mike Lilly of the old Bud Lilly’s fly shop. He had his wife rowing him down the Madison River in a bright Pink Bikini. She had a great tan to. I saw a lot of Jaws on the ground. 8) Ron
You know there is an old saying, about a guy not having both oars in the water, maybe that is why the wife was willing to be the oars woman on that trip.

EEEWWWWHHHH! The thought of Mike Lilly in a pink bikini just makes my skin crawl!
Trouts don’t live in ugly places
Some of you guys are lucky…
My goal is to teach my wife how to row and read the water this year! First stop, the local ponds… She can really row circles around people. And not in a good way.
JC If Deanna rowed you more She would not be out fishing you all the time. And yes I rember she was the first licenced lady in montana. hard to beleave she is only 29.

All should know this relay of words came only after My wife and I invited Jim and Deanna to the Salmon to Steelheed fish and I mentioned my wife would row us while we fished.
Rich
After all it is HER boat. I sold it to her before we were married. ( funny how it matches my truck)
Betty !!!
Don’t post replies like that during the day… My boss is giving me weird looks as I rolled around on the floor wiping my eyes.
(He already caught me shadow casting monday morn last as I read JC’s weekly)

Boats! Anathema to me. I always seem to end up, Up The Creek Without A Paddle. All this in spite of a few years in the Navy in Destroyers.“G”
I’m a much better Fly fisher when talking fishing, than when I’m Actually Fly fishing!
Betty I could tell you about the two ladies that had waded across a shallow channel of the Madison and were sun bathing nude on an island. I had two fellows in my boat we came around the head of the island and there they were. One up and one down naked as a Jay Bird. I held the boat about 10 yards away while the fellow in the front took two rolls of flim of this great subject and those ladies never knew we were there.
Seems I got a good dinner paid for that night and a good tip. Those fellows asked me if it was like that on the river everyday? I just smiled and said “Some days are diamonds” Just another day on the beautiful Madison River in the great state of Montana. Ron
PS: But you are right Thinking of Mike in a Bikini is not something that I would suggest on a full stomach.
I think my wife has a rowing phobia. Seems when the fishing is good, the water is too rough for her to row. When the fishing is slow, she feels she needs some excercise and takes the sticks from me. I really cant complain much though, the boat is techniclly hers, and I still manage to fish some too.

Tis my time on the water, in the mountains, and in my driftboat where I can see things as they really are.
Betty,
How sexist. You don’t think men should wear pink?
As for wife rowing, I may have the best of all. Just before I had my rotator cuff surgery I was not able to row my kayak very well. I could fish, keeping my arm near my side and using only my forearm for casting. More than once, my wife would take a line between her kayak and mine and tow me around the lake or pond as I sat in the rear kayak fishing or even just trolling. you can imagine the stares we got from others. Every once in a while I would yell something like “faster, faster” just to get the watchers riled up. She played along well and once responded with a “Yes Master”.
jed
I know better’n to even do this…
When we had the flats skiff, Linda fished in a bikini as I poled the skiff around the flats. Never could get away from all those other damned skiffs G
AAARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

My wife was a good rower and helmsperson till I married her. Then she hit me up side the head with an oar just for asking. She said to take her cocker spaniel with me and teach him to row. Dang! he’d a done a good job of it too if he could only keep his paws wraped around the oars. He was a good sailor and bow lookout the first time aboard.
I miss ya Shaun
