Fished the Farmington again last night and ended up with about 8 fish. Even caught a few risers on dries. I hate to be sacriligious, but dry fly fishing is just boring. The only way I can think of that would make it more palatable, would be if you were floating a river. I hate sitting in one spot casting to finicky fish - it's too much of a pain in the ass.
Anyway, here's a few photos from yesterday's jaunt:

Wahh. Boo Hoo. I hate casting to finicky fish. Some people actually LIKE a challenge. Maybe, as you continue to fish, your skills will continue to progress, and you could learn to accept a challenge. Shit, you might as well fish bait if you want it to be easy. Hey, at least you already have plenty of bobbers ;)

you don't really want to go down this road, do you "Mr. I need to practice nymphing so I maybe will someday land a steelhead"?
ReplyDeleteand... it really isn't much of a challenge - I caught a bunch of fish on dries and lost several others - I'm not boasting, I'm just saying... It's boring, dude, face it! When I'm fishing dries, I feel like an old fart sitting in his pussy pool all day - it sucks.
Uh, yeah. And watching for your bobber to move. Now there's some excitement. Go sit in your pussy pool and play with your bobber.
ReplyDeleteI like fishing dries because it's fun, and exciting when they hit. I like fishing streamers because I could always use the casting practice. And I like fishing nymphs because I like to catch fish once and a while.
