don't watch if you have to pee


got to the river, popped the trunk, no rod!
hiked into the gorge anyway, had a rib-eye sammich and a beer,
looked around and took some pics before hiking out.

Those are some really awesome pics.  The first one looks not only 3 dimensional but also an insane-level of high definition.

You forgot to bring your ROD, Wooley? Jaysus.  :laugh:

I'll admit -- once I forgot to bring my reel. Another time I forgot to bring my wading boots.
It happens sometimes, I guess....

At least you got your money's worth and made the best of it. I'd be damn happy to spend $54 to eat lunch there, if I had $54, or a 6 hour lunchbreak. One more week........

Don't feel lonely

I went to fish a tiny creek last week and had a car full of 9ft 6, 8, and 10wts.

Looks like you have a better attitude than I do...which is not really news I suppose. 0:0

everything was out of the car for a trip last weekend, I managed to get everything loaded, reel, vest, waders, boots, net, fly boxes and my new backpack / chest pack combo. While I was driving up the only thing that I thought I had forgotten was a newly refilled bottle of fly drying powder.
When I discovered that I had forgotten the rod, I loaded up the new back and gave it a tryout. Wasn't going to make it a total waste of gas and time... I enjoyed being up there and having lunch on the stream. I
