I saw a truck and drift boat that went off the highway this morning just north of Darrington. The truck looked totalled but it appears the fishing gods (or gawdesses) spared the black Willie. I have a feeling the woman I saw talking to the police officer was the driver. She seemed ok. I hope any passengers she may have had were ok too.
Watch out for ice on the roads.

BTW, the Sauk and Skagit still look like crap.

What did the truck look like that was towing it??????

Inquiring minds just gotta know!

Thanks!

The truck? The truck that apparently belonged to the thin woman with long dark hair looked very upside down. She was lucky to walk away. Somehow the boat was upright. She should build some type of shrine to the fishing gods (or gawdesses) after today, they saved her and her black willie. Like I said, if she had passengers, I hope they were spared too.

I heard from a local in Rockport today that it was ***** the fish******* (Seattle Area Guide) that hit the ice. From what I understand it was a newer truck. Bummer......................at least she didn't get hurt and the boat still floats!

That's weird. I put in her name on the last post and I get stars instead of the name I put in. Lets see if it work in reverse. Fish******* the *****. I know she's made a bad name for herself but I didn't know the board had a special program to remove her name to stars.

One last try but only her first name. *****

Ok, I give up. The board's software is so good I can't post anything that even comes close to her name. I guess you'll just have to guess it.

I saw that wreck too. Driver was lucky to walk away- the rig was half in the woods. Cupo- did you fish the Suiattle area for a bit? Think I may have seen you.

Nailknot, nope. We were grouse hunting around Rockport and Concrete. Saw three and never got a shot off. Last sunday we saw four and got two of 'em. The Sauk's a tad dirty for my taste now anyway.
The section of road where she lost it is usually the last spot to thaw.

Im not sure if was the same accident, but a good friend of mine works all the way down in Mt Vernon Fire department as an EMT and had to respond to a pretty serious accident up that way, that had some life threatining injuries in it Ill try to ge more info....DJ

wanabe guide.... insert middle finger and a chuckle

She hasn't mentioned it yet on her website.

Still havent talked to my friend but his wife told me that the guy that got hurt was so worried about his fishing rods that the ambalance driver had to stop and go back and get them. I guess they were some High $ rods to be worried that much, friends wife said the guys name is on the rod,,,,,Im not sure if they are custom made rods, or signature rods

i heard that all of the passangers which i was told were little kids were left out in the cold and all of the rods were loaded up and rushed in an ambulance to woodland WA to be checked over for the night at two separate but close locations. i hope the rods are OK

I heard the airlifted the rods by LifeFlight medivac straight to the GLoomis factory. Seriously, I hope everyone was ok, hate to see anyone get hurt on the roads.

Just got an email from her, yes it was her. She was not hurt but one of her little girls was hurt pretty bad, not wearing a setbelt sleeping laying down on the seat. She did make sure they took care of the boat and gear first! Some people and their priorities.........

So, there you have it confirmation from the horses mouth herself!!

Although Angelena Fisgodesa was unhurt Roderick Haig Brown and Zane Grey are not expected to survive.
Oh, that's right, they were already dead. She killed them again.
Several Tonkin cane spey rods damaged in the mishap were expected to return to service thanks to several popsicle sticks and a roll of duct tape.

HEY, SHE KILLED KINNEY!!! DAMMIT!!!!

Naw, Mike's OK, I just saw him the other day.

I hope her kid's OK.

If anyone was hurt, especially kids, it's bad mojo to make light of it. Auto accidents just aren't very humorous, no matter who's in them.

Keep the rubber side down.........those morning drives can be hazardous this time of year.

She musta caused a real stink on this board...I know that the boat is okay - I am going fishing with her in a week! Didn't hear about the children - but to make light of that is pretty sorry.

I doubt anyone would make lite of it, even with some of the hard feelings some guys have for her.

As for all of us, you can pretty much bet that getting up and driving on the roads at o'dark:30 pulling boats around it is just a matter of time. It still amazes me that at 4:00am on Saturday morning the roads are still packed with traffic. It takes just one idiot is some little bumble bee sounding car to cut you off, and you are done. Happened to me a couple of weeks ago, lucky we didn't crash. About 10 minutes later we passed this little jerk getting a nice speeding ticket from Mr. Smokey D. Bear.

I never met her. I wouldn't wish any ill will on her or anyone else. Sure would have hated to hear a Willie boat was smashed, that guy builds one fine boat!

The drive from Derrington to Rockport can be a slick one even if there is no ice any where else. SO be carefull hope the kids are O.k..

Tight lines

Hey bullelkklr don't forget to wear your lifejacket!!!PEACE

Any parent caught with a kid in the car not wearing a seatbelt should go to jail!!! One of my biggest pet peeves!! How hard is it to buckle the kid up?? And this from the woman that goes on and on about how much she loves her kids. She pulls this bright move and the last one was sinking her driftboat while she was pregnant!!!
Some people should be sterilized!!!

Thanks for the tip on the jacket....

with the rain I am expecting the trip to get cancelled - I was out flyfishing the catch/release part of the northfork of the stilly on Saturday and it was coming down over there pretty good most of the day - I am pretty new to the salmon/steely game, but I am going to guess that most of the rivers up north (maybe everywhere) are going to get blown out....

Maybe it will make the fish run too??

sinker-

Fish on!

And the wannabe guide thinks wearing wool pants in the rain is a discredit.What a joke!

I wear my raingear or waders when it's raining - wool pants are great for elk hunting in the snow - but fishing in the rain? Seems they would get pretty heavy by day's end.

I will say that a fifteen mile hike in waders or rain gear gets very hot.

I have worn woolies in the rain for years. Works real well and they don't get heavy unless it super dumps like Tue/Wed- I like the German ones.
