Title: I went fishing
Post by: benben reincarnated on June 14, 2011, 19:57:50 PM
Same routine, left work, went fishing, somewhere new to me.  It was a decent stream and fished well considering the low water.  I also caught my personal first of a few wild browns, which was cool.  All told brought about 10 fish to hand, most on average were small.

first fish was one of the browns I landed:

most of the bows averaged this size:
[attach=2]

[attach=3]

[attach=4]

best of the day  -0-
[attach=5]

[attach=6]

I believe you did....but that was like my 2nd time fishing ever, and I think we fished more like 15 minutes before the storm came in.  If I recall correctly the only fish I caught was one I caught on a shitty backcast.  hahaha.

Hope you don't mind Ben. Didn't feel like like crafting a clever title.

Everything about that looks good, except the country ham. I can't for the life of me see how anyone can stomach that stuff. You'd get  a better deal if you just bought a salt lick.

The only thing better than country ham is hog's jowl. That's factual.

I couldn't handle one more day of being at work, stuck in this concrete block cell. If I read another blog post, trip report, or watched another shitty Vimeo clip, I was going to lose my mind. Living vicariously blows.

So I conjured up a stomach bug, shot the big boss man a text message, and I was free. That was easy.


I grabbed the necessities, a 2 wt, a point and shoot, a Coleman 16, and a map, and was on my way.

Two best places to eat on the river...and perhaps the only...Garfield's and Papa's...

If you want a good hot dog, drive up 57 to Village Market...

I was born and raised in M'ville. I've had a hotdog from pretty much every restaurant and gas station that sells them there. Hard to beat a Midget Market or Dixie Pig dog, all they way of course.

They were colored up of course. A few fish were circling the tailouts of pools looking for a partner, but most were still in feeding lies.
