The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

I got skunked today. I don't feel like saying any more about it.

Harlen,

A buddy of mine says:
"If you don't get skunked once in awhile, You ain't fishing often enough!"

"If you don't get skunked once in awhile, You ain't fishing often enough!"

That's what I keep telling my wife.

Very profound Ed. LOL, I'll have to remember that!

Sorry about your experience Harlan.

You really OLD guys make me because you seem to too much...my calender indicates that I have 843 days to go until I don't have to do unimportant things that prevent me from being able to too much!

If you have too many days with stink on your ledgersheet, go ahead and transfer one or two onto mine...I need more entries.

Glad you got out to fish El Rey. One of these days we are going to have to fish the Yuba together.

Getting skunked happens. Its usually a scheduling issue. Should have been here yesterday......

Harlan, I was having one of those days on the Y, nothing working, was completing a drift below the Highway 20 bridge, and paused to look upstream to check if there was some other fishy-looking lie that I missed. That caused my two-fly rid to float up the surface (a worthy emerger imitation) but it held there for 10 seconds in the current (not worthy). Wham! Got hooked up...

The only thing I take away from that is that it's better to be lucky than good...or that trout really do have a pea-size brain.
