Sounds about right. I'm due to hit it again, preferably not in 420 CFS down low.

2017 – 6

I was finished I tell you, finished with that project, so when I took off in the afternoon to fish puneville I wasn't worried about streeling away a couple of hours from work. Made the drive up in an hour and change only to find the usually empty lot filled with four cars, WTF on a Thursday afternoon..., I thought about heading to another spot, but popped a beer as I wasn't in a hurry, put the reel on ass backwards, snapped a photo and posted it, only to realize my faux pas a bit later... A spin / corn dunker dude came off the river and we talked for a while. "How'd you do?' I enquired. "Didn't catch any," he replied. I asked what he was using and looked at his spinners and offered up some suggestion "Them other guys, wouldn't say anything and gave me the evil eye," he told me. "I got me a fly poll, but haven't figured it out yet," he continued. I told him to get in touch with the local TU and that there was a "Fishing with friends" event that might give him some pointers on fly fishing...

When I got to the water I realized that I had not only put the reel on assbackwards, but had posted up the pic... well at least I was drinking a beer at 1 o'clock.

Convinced that the stunted browns will still strike a streamer I tried on a small slumpbuster.

Caught a couple of streamer eating browns and a trespassing rainbow who moved down from the stocked waters.
Then the damn phone rang. "We need you to make a couple of changes on the show!" Fuckeity fuk fuk! Trudge back to the car and make the drive back to the office made the changes and got the file uploaded before five. 

Jazz Night – beer, music, and fly tying...

The reel was on the correct side, the line was wound on backwards.  :banana072:

No one, not even Dougie, I mean NO ONE casts rightie and switches hands to retrieve/wind the line with their right.  Not even a professional title-holding  wanker, who can switch hands in a single Planck length and not miss a rub, would employ such awkwardness when fly fishing!

Sorry, this has nothing to do with the Smith, but we/I can't let Doug spout BS.

Keep living under that Bath County rock, Steve-O.
When that bonefish takes me into the backing, I'll be cranking him back with my dominate hand.
Just the way I cranked those Carp in. You'll notice, I didn't have to go home at 1 for a nap.
Psst: J sets his up the same.

Dominant hand is for jerking off and holding onto the rod!

Agree on jerking off. I can hold the rod in my arm pit. If I could jerk off with my arm pit, I'd be famous. And rich.

If it works for you then, great!

But I could not imagine fighting Albacore with my non-dominate arm. You don't need strength to reel in the fish, but strength to pull the fish in and then reel in the slack.

I'd have to agree with Muddy on this one.

If your left arm is not strong enough to  keep pressure on a frickin fish, then you may want to think about doing some curls for the girls.

So you're saying I should start drinking with my left hand?

by about the 5th albie I start holding the cork with my left and start pulling my rod with the right  :;!
