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

Probably true..............

Right now I am so damn sick I feel like I am being waterboarded myself, drowning in phlegm..................

Doesn't that make everyone feel better ?

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

Yup, just tip the guy over at the top end of a run, or better yet, at the tailout............

Man, I've been sick before but my ass is kicked with this one.

I have no Irish for 'medicinal purposes', so it's another shot of ' Green Death' (nyquil) and back to bed for me.

Down for the count..............

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

A Poulon ? .............

Yeah, he probably did Todd...................

Some of those old Husk'ys aren't bad, but yeah............Stihl is the way to go in Chain Saws........

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.

Caveman has a Stihl and a Poulan. The Poulan is his loaner.

There are some things in life you just don't scrimp on. Chainsaws are one of those things.

Word x2, us fly guys have got to stick together you know...in order to show the proper respect.

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.

Us *real* flyfishermen only use single handers.

I thought *real* flyfishermen only used bait?

Oh brother......................

Thanks Stam and Parker. I was missing you dyed in the wool fly boys for a moment there. Sheesh! Yikes! Next time we go fly fishing Stam, you gotta' leave the bait caster at home. You can show us how you Spey cast Parker. We got nothing else to do, like fishin' or somethin'. You should know by now that fly fishermen had to forego bait because it won't stay on the hook while fly casting.

Geez, I'da never guessed everyone of us owns a chain saw. Kinda' interesting.
