Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 That pretty wells covers it. Got an invite from a guy to go fish the Sky today but I couldn't make it in time for the boat before it left the ramp.
Grizzly Dave Posted December 27, 2011 Author Posted December 27, 2011 I've only fished from a motor boat twice, first time caught one decent walleye, second time didn't catch a thing while everyone else on the boat pulled them in hand over fist.
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 This would have been a drift down the river. No motor. Just cast and drift. Anyway, no fish. I took several river trips when I was younger. All were great trips. Caught fish. Had fun. Life was good.

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 I just can't wait for springtime and trout season... Hey, BMC - Speakin' of fishing rods, I have a heartbreaker of a story for ya... I had a (note the past tense) very nice 1890's vintage Abercrombe & Fitch "Yellowstone" fly rod, made I believe by H L Leonard. Sweet li'l rod with two tips in it's original cylindrical holder with canvas sleeve. Wonderfully supple, it loved a 5 or 6 wt line, and felt like it was alive in your hands. Sadly, said rod disappeared during a post "change of family circumstances" move...

Those old bamboo rods are a delight to cast. Soft action and it forces you to relax and enjoy your surroundings. I really don't care for the fast actions rods today. They will get the line "over there where the fish are" but in my opinion they are not as much fun to cast. But the other side of the coin, most folks go fishing to catch fish, but some, like myself, go just to enjoy the day. If you catch fish, it is a bonus. Usually the fish doesn't care much for it though.
