a little more to the point.....and explicit
Ain't No Fun (If The Homies Can't Have None) - Snoop Doggy Dogg feat. Kurupt, Warren G & Nate Dogg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOvCmIUNe3I#)

Went fishing on a dh Sunday with a good friend. I caught my first fish on this river with the same buddy who got me into fly fishing. It feels way more like a wild creek, and I'm sure at some point it was before they dammed it up. I'm sure you know it. Don't try to pretend that you're too good for a little cheap fun now and then. My buddy did that thing that white people like to do and 'took a year off' a few years back. Since then, he's re-entered reality and usually works 7 days a week(A year off is really fucking expensive). He fishes even less than I do now, so I agreed to go shoot some fish in a barrel.

Chilly start

Looking a little like spring though

Jumped into a good pool to start and thought I'd be somewhat civilized and throw a normal looking dry/dropper. These fish were fresh off the truck. They wouldn't know real trout food if it smacked them in the face.....which I did several times. Brought out the uglies and picked em off one by one.

It's a sloppy game throwing relatively big/heavy stuff with a delicate dry fly rod on a 10 foot creek

I'm eyeing some stockards for some quick, cheap, and dirty after work fishing on these warm days. So no highbrowing from me regarding the uglies.
