i spent some time with andy, the intervarsity campus minister, today and as usually happens he took me fishing (which is a great thing). i had two firsts today: 1) i have never caught a catfish on a crankbait before (i’ve always caught cats on live bait or stink bait) and 2) i’ve never caught a white bass before (they supposedly taste quite good but i wasn’t too impressed with their fight). both of those happened today. in addition i caught a great deal of other fish and thanks to andy i now know a great spot for small mouth bass which i love catching. i can hardly wait for the water level to go down so i can wade this area and fly fish it. i am willing to bet money that catching a smallmouth bass on a fly rod is a life changing experience.
i can’t believe i have gone my whole life without access to a constant stream of smallmouth bass.
of course, i have to get a canoe to reach this spot but that’s going to work out eventually.
i have to go by the tomorrow river thursdy and saturday and i’m definitely going to take at least one of those days to try out a little trout fishing on it. i’ve missed trout fishing so much.
I love you and your fishy ways and am THRILLED that we are back in flyfishing territory again for you. You look cute in your waders! 😉
A long sleeved shirt in June? Unheard of
one word – “mosquitoes” – thus it was best in that area to have everything covered that you could have covered.
Not only mosquitoes, but we hovered around the high 50s and low 60s with constant wind that was downright chilly! I wore a sweater all day yesterday.
And Andy came to Robert and said “Come with me, and I will make you a fisher of… fish.”
