QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

Been working at the ranch again.  Doing ranch chores aint time consuming, it's the travel back and
forth from the house. 160 miles round trip.

Sorry to miss yesterday and late for today.  Maybe some of Lefty's bull shit below will help. ;-)

It’s not that there’s more BS, it’s just that we’re so much better @ it.

Sounds like something I'd write, but alas, it ain't.  I did write the three below tho.

"The fisherman who says he's never fallen while wading is either a pathogenic
liar or has never been wade fishing!" ©

"Fishing too light a fly line is like trying to cram a wet noodle up a wildcat's ass."©

"Just when I've caught a nice trout and feeling very proud of my fly fishing ability,
my feet fly out from under me and there I sit, wet, flustered and properly humiliated
by the Fly Fishing gods." ©

Now that you mention it, I think it's time I ran through my personal Fly Fishing
Quotes again.  At last count, I think I'd written around 60.  It's been a while, so
I'll just run through them again.  It'll take a couple months.

BTW, most of them will make you laugh.  Some will make you think, and you'll
see yourself in some of them.  LOL  

Have A Good Day..

JIMMY D

P.S. I don't mind your using my quotes in newsletters, etc. Just give me credit as
the aurhor.

[Don Ordes]

JimmyD,

I like your QFTD. 

 

'Casting well' can be thought of like using a pool cue to shoot pool.  Cues come in various weights and qualities, but your ability to shoot well and run the table does not lie on the quality of the que.  Of course, a better cue makes for a more enjoyable shooting experience, but few beginners would notice or could make use of the fine nuances of a high-end expensive cue.  A better cue can carry out the extreme english needed for some shots, but the knowledge has to be there to start.  A great shooter can run the table with a broom stick, but prefers to shoot with a $1000 cue.

 

Fly-casting and fly-fishing is like that.  With a little tutoring and some basic skills and rules, anyone can play the game with that 'bar-rod'.  But as one's skills and fishing knowledge grow, better equipment is helpful and more enjoyable in 'running the river'.  Problem is, unlike pool balls, fish have brains and programming and move around and turn on and off and swim away and...

 

One more note: 

Just as a pool shooter has a breaking cue, a jumping cue, and a shooting cue with spare tips, so a well-equipped flyfisher would be advisded.  Using your fine $700 5wt. to cast heavy weighted nymphs or split shot, risking getting the rod dinged up by them (weak spot = break spot), is like doing that vertical-jamb-masse-shot with your best shooting cue. Get a long 6 or 7 wt. 'cheap' rod with a fast action and proper line to lift and cast that weighted wet bugger and haul up that lunker.  And then swap to that fine 5wt for the evening rise of size 22PMDs.

 

My 2 cents...

 

DonO

My favorite "store bought" rod is a Wright & McGill Featherweight, yellow fiberglass 6 feet, 3 wt.
I gave $39.95 for it and that included shipping.

Mine, besides my bamboo rod of course, is my less than $100 St. Croix. But I think the one I like even better than the St. Croix was the first rod my kids ever bought me on Fathers day 6 years ago come this next June, and it's a $39.95  "Crystal River, Cahill" rod. It's really slow action and for some reason I loved that about it.. I can cast the whole length of line easily as it only has that 65ft Cabelas special line. But I can also hit a five gallon bucket from about 15 yards away pretty easily when I have been fishing regularly with it. I just looked on the wall (I made a huge "gun rack" out 1 by 4's and a 1 by 6 LOL, and we have 8 rods and only have four of us that live here. And we have two more cheapo Wal mart special rods in the closet somewhere..Those things were/are soooo stiff and fast auction I can hardly cast anything besides a big ol heavy bass bug with them, but even that's OK if a big ol bass will hit it LOL...  Chuck

I just remembered that St. Croix used make pool cues too. My wife has one
that I bought her 30 some years ago. I don't think they make them anymore,
so you'll probably just be stuck with getting a rod.

I tried that on the Cimarron in 1999.  It worked so well that a
large black bear never saw me as he snatched my fish from the

There aren't that many bears that come down to the low country, except in times of extreme drought.  However, we did have a mama and her two cubs come all the way down to the Villa at Philmont Scout Ranch, which is 4 miles South of Cimarron.  The mom and the two cubs spent all day around the Villa and Philmont office, with the mom eating apples that had fallen from apple trees and her cubs practicing their climbing on the Cottonwoods.  Lots of folks got some great pics.  I've encountered three blacks while fishing, but never had one pay much attention to me.  In all the years that Philmont has hosted thousands of Boy Scouts each summer, only a few have had run- ins with the blacks.  No fatalities, no really serious injuries. Most were hungry bears looking for a handout.  One thing you don't do at Philmont is keep food and candy handy.  The Scouts Keep their food in Bear Bags, which hang considerably off the ground on a cable line between trees.
