After a few weeks of not being here the Trout Master is back, I know you all missed me, And I.m touched that even Basser missed me. Yes I have changed jobs , I'm staying more than busy. I'm service manager at a Alumaweld boat dealer and we are slammed.
I'll be doing my first steelhead trip next week.

Good to hear from you.
The new Job sounds good.

Oh no not a smolt again.

What gives you the idea that we missed you?? We just didn't have anybody to pick on or kick around.

Welcome back, congrats on the new job. I'm off to the North Bend area to hit moving water or a lake or two. Can't get on the Weyco property since the wifes Blazer (with the access sticker) is in the body shop.

TM give me a call sometime. perhaps we can get up to Hancock and/or Calligan.

I second the motion. :p

It is good the Trout Master has returned.

I personally refrained from posting much in the Trout Master's absence. My reason for this is I consider Trout Master my intellectual equal and didn't want to waste time in discussions with others....

(P. S. Troutmaster... I think the others are smarter than us)

Zen I tried to relax and do the ooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmm ooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmm thing but it didn't work for me.What else you got

Question, Jim. How were you holding your lips when you uttered, "OOOOOmmmmmmmm?" You have to do that correctly before things work for you.

I wasn't "Ommmming" correctly yesterday. I hopped in my truck planning on moving a couch and entertainment center for my step-son.

Stinkin' truck wouldn't start. I'm sure glad I found this out yesterday and not next week when we would be leaving for a couple of days fishing the Metolius. It's something with the ignition switch.

When one Ohmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"s One must Ohmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm in the right direction.
I wont reveal the way, Micro Brew knows the way as does Zen. You will know when you are there.

I was up in rainy ole Canada last few days. Got so damp and flustered I got my Ohmmmmmm's backward and started uttering Mmmoooooooh's.
Didn't do much for the fishing,but attracted a huge black bull who appeared to be either lovesick or angry.There's little difference between the two emotions in Bull language.
I doubt it would have mattered at that point how I held my mouth or which direction I chanted.
Will fishnfella ever learn the way?
Do hungry trout bite on Mayflies?

Doreen Lake was red hot on Mayfly nymphs.
Looked to be near the end of the hatch though.

Maybe I just better talk fishing. Went today to the S/Fork of the Stilly. River was verrrrrrrrry high. Fell on my butt,got wet. Must be stupid,wore hip waders,should have been chest waders. Oh! when will I ever learn. I guess I just should have said a few Oooooooooommmmmmmmmm's. ---------------------- "so much water---so little time"

Jim , It is Ohm;s not Omm's

TM - Weren't you going steelheading last weekend (or is it this weekend)? How'd you do? Catch any on that infamous 2 wt?

We are off to Mason Lake this weekend. This kids want to hit the jet skis and I want to fish for CT on smaller ponds.

How 'bout u?

T.M. I'm sorry. Maybe thats why it didn't work
