Hindsight is always 20-20.

Timber is a cool guy.

He's got big shoulders.

But they're a little soft on logging.

Sorry Timber; the devil made me say it!!!!

Sg
Stihl - simply the best!!!!

Oh, and in the spirit of the thread, Bush is a twit!!!!

Salmo g....thanks for your usual "seeing right to the heart" of what I was getting at...it's too bad you're mainly a fly-flinger, or we'd have to hook up on the river a lot more than we do!

Fish on...

Todd

Whack em and Stack em!!!!

Yeah.

Try to outdrink Timber.

Let me know when so I can watch.

Aunty,

A beer drinking contest never settled anything other than turning a lot of beer into p!ss. Not trying to discourage it or anything. Just saying it won't settle any haggling over what a dipsh!t Bush is.

Todd,

If you ever want to shake the dust off your Spey rod and pay some proper respect to steelhead, give me a call. I'll warm up the jet boat tomorrow just to make sure it's still running.

Sg

Aunty, the drinking contest should be dumped in favor of just sitting around and drinking...that's what it's going to turn into, anyway, so it may as well just start there.

Sg and KK...let's do it this March...I've had the damn thing for a year now, and I've only fished with it for half a day...I need to be a little better than "half ass proficient at one cast" if I expect to get it out into the river...

Fish on...

Todd

Todd,

Sounds almost like a plan.

Sg

Hey WTF I want to tag along on the Spey rod fishing trip. Someone is going to get hurt, and I want to be there to say "Dooode, all that blood is freakin me out. I'd help you, but I'm off the clock."

Waterboarding wouldn't bother a true steelheader one bit...wearing a useless baseball cap in sideways 40mph wind while it's raining cats and dogs can't be all that much better...especially if you're a fly guy and you're standing tits deep in the water so it's splashing up in your face, too!

Fish on...

Todd

I was gonna' ask ya' along Vince, . . . until I saw you flyfshing for chums on purpose. Ya' gotta' live that down first. Not to mention remove all the bad juju from your Spey rod.

KK,

I'm still new to waterboarding. Can we just shove Todd in the drink if he gets out of line? Besides, Todd may have a point that there isn't much difference between waterboarding and winter steelheading. Sheesh the crap came at me from all directions running back to Mission yesterday. I was blowing snot/river water/rain like a whale half the way home.

Sorry to hear you're feeling under the weather. I always prescribe three fingers of Irish Whiskey for that condition. Either it makes you better, or you don't care. win-win.

Sg

Hohbomb,

That was my rejoinder to Timber, former timber faller whose byline is "Willy, simply the best!!!"

Sg

KK,

Take care and don't die. We might get a steelhead season yet.

Sg

Salmo you got that right Stihl is Simply the Best!!

I hope my neighbor didn't make the biggest mistake of his entire life, bar none, when he bought a Poulon.

Fish on...

Todd

Yeah Todd, probably a mistake. Frankly I don't know how that outfit stays in business to keep making saws. Guys like your neighbor apparently.

I'm still using my Stihl 031-AV I got as a college graduation gift 30+ years ago. Huskys are good too I hear, but my Stihl might outlast me.

Sg

Either you guys are too subtle in your humor, or I am...

I have a Stihl, too...a Farm Boss, no less...a chainsaw that could, say, cut down an entire hillside in Lewis County, if someone had a hankering to do so.

Fish on...

Todd

A farmboss cut down a hillside The first one you cut on that hillside would be rotten by the time the last tree was cut

And Todd "gud spelin" Its Poulan!! not poulon

Maybe 30 years ago when there was still a tree in Lewis County bigger than jack firs a foot across.

By the way my Stihl's a MS 310.

My Husqvarna's a 1943 6.5mm. It doesn't cut down trees, but it'll cut down 2 legged varmints.

I should be there, too. You know, to show KK, Salmo, and Todd how to cast a spey rod! We need Doc in there as well.



Actually, I bet KK and Salmo would do a pretty coool Ninja Thing with their spey rod. Cool to watch someone who can actually cast a spey rod well.
