I sucked as a fly fisherman. My friend and i were sitting in a diner talking about wasting two days and the gas money, when an old man asked us if we were leaving, when and to where. He then said something like, "You boys drive 1.2 miles down that road exactly. You'll see a small place to pull off the road and hide your car in the trees. Walk about 300 paces away from the road and you'll see a place where the river slows. What do you got besides fly rods? Hula poppers? Hell, anything you throw in there us gonna catch at least one fish every 5 or so minutes. You enjoy yourselves, but if I ever see you back there again, I'll fill your arses with salt from my shotgun."

When I threw my line in the water, I didn't have a chance to pop the lure before a trout took it. I knew then that it woukd be the best day fishing in my life. What a wonderful kindness that old country man showed two hippies.

I've always sucked with bait and lures. The only success I had as a kid in OH was during the bluegill spawn. Yet, stream/river hydrology/ecology, entomology, waving a 9' stick with 20-30' line out between cottonwoods and sagebrush and plopping it more or less where you want it to go--I've kind of figured out. Couldn't teach my daughter to plunk though. Was absolutely lost.

People there still use Hula Poppers? Always did best with large mouth bass and pike with that. Great on ponds. My best ever day was trout fishing in Yellowstone, after nothing worked, then pulling in a trout every five minutes for two hours with a Hula Popper.

Speaking of old school shit that works, the schrade people just had a 7.5 and 9 inch fillet knives dropped at my door to replace the stolen bag ones. I got the 7.5 to replace a rap martini. It's really cool. Like if I had to pick one knife to use forever for anything you'd need a knife.for I might.pick this one.

Uh, you're getting knives dropped off at 1 AM? Are you in an alley?
