All started off well, the casting was ok, I thought I was mending properly. Oh and what do you know, Britguy is already into one...... then another and another. This went on for quite a while without me hooking into anything. So bring the nice guy that he is, Britguy comes over and offers some tips, which I try to do, and a fly to use. Thanks for the fly BTW. So still nothing, kinda disheartening really, I wasn't really ticked just yet.... ;D Just wondering what I was doing wrong, thought perhaps that I wasn't getting down to them, so I wound up changing up tips. Now, here's how it is..... the wind had picked up a bit, which wasn't helping me at all....and apparently the new tip I put on didn't like me much either, cause after the first case, which went farely well..... the damn thing hit me on about 10 straight casts, once hooking myself in the top of the hand, and 5 more times in the back of the head.... :wallbash: oh and did I mention that now there were a bunch of other guys in the general area hooking fish..... so where was I.....oh yeah, hooked myself a bunch of times, yeah..... now I was pissed!! :-[ I think I scared off Britguy as he slowly made his way up river away from me!! ;D Sorry you had to see that display of language.... wasn't one of my best moments.... so needless to say, I changed up to gear fishing for a bit, still nothing. But now no one else was hooking anything either, so I didn't feel so bad!! ;D After stepping back for a bit, I had a smoke and just watched. Figured that it was time to try someplace else. So I headed to check out the Mamquam. There was a couple people there, a few fish rolling around, so I figure that I would toss some spoons. After three casts I get an encouraging bump, then another and FISHON!! A nice scrappy one, but alas, after some nice pulls and a little arial display my first hooked Pink of the year was gone. Two casts later I was into another one, but after a couple more jumps that one was gone as well. Then it just turned right off, there was a couple still playing around, but other than a tap or two, nothin!! Oh well, that 's just the way it goes. Was a beautiful day out there today, some nice people and one big sreamin jerk.... which would be me!! ;D :wallbash: Anyhow, there it is, had some fun and shed a few drops of blood and don't really feel bad at all that I missed work. But, man, I am gonna sleep tonight. I am surprised I am still up to be honest with you.... ;D
