Time for fishin'

Don't worry, I haven't forgot, I just took a day off to go harass some fish.

And believe me, when you watch me fly fish, you would probably call it harassing the fish too.

I love fly fishing more than drowning worms, and my "herd" of worms are probably grateful for that. I raise worms to sell to the local fishermen in my neighbourhood.

It was pretty nice, a little windy and hot, but not bad. The fish obviously found me entertaining as I did not get one strike until about dusk. I figure maybe they started feeling sorry for me and tricked the noobie fish into striking by saying, "Oh am I full, no, you go ahead and have that black gnat, snicker, nice knowin' ya." 5 hours on the lake and 3 Crappie and 1 Rainbow Trout to show for it. The guy near me using a jig got about a dozen Crappie in the same time frame. So I know the fish were well entertained.

So why am I sharing this with you? If you remember in Step 2, and if not scroll down and read Step 2, I told you to make time to relax and share time with friends or go fishing or camping. Well, that's what I did today, I took time to relax and go fishing and now I am sharing my experience with you. And it was pretty nice to get away from the computer for a few hours and match wits with aquatic creatures, though from the looks of my efforts I might have been out smarted. But the mosquitoes are well fed today anyway.

So relax and I will move onto Step 3 by tomorrow, 25 July 2009.

Cheers!
