I was fly fishing for silvers(anything) wading around rich passage cause the wind and I walked out a little far almost to my chest and I'm 6-2. my waders suck there torn and leak but I was desperate. but I was to my chest and a sea lion popped up no more than 7 ft in front on me and just started at me doing the arrph. that sea donkey got me so scared. I quickly retreated to the shore. threw the leaky waders away and took another shot of my brew ha..have anybody ever had a nasty encounter with a sea lion? just shoot them all I say. Tight lines, Ben
