Fishless Trip Report

[Big Dale]

Daybreak yesterday found me at Dale's Point with my little Temple Fork two
weight rod. It was one of those days that was a little different around here
with a good bit of fog in the air, but you could still see the far side of the
little lake. I could no longer see the brim bed as the weed had grown up to the
point where it looked like there had not been any fish in the little lake
later. From all the fish I caught that could have been true. I had a good time
casting the little rod with yellow foam spiders, chartreuse foam spiders,purple
foam spiders, psychedelic foam spiders, green weenies, and several colors of
cap spiders and never had to worry about releasing any fish. In fact I never
had a strike in the three hours I fished yesterday morning.

Drove by the damn at Lake Texoma and found that the lake had turned over and it
stunk to all hell below the damn. Drove over to the spillway launching ramp and
watched a guy using a surf casting rig with a spinning reel casting that rig a
long long ways while fishing for stripers. He caught 7 on consecutive casts but
they were all small for this area of the lake with them running about a foot
long.

Does anyone have any idea how I could learn to cast a fly rod the 75 to 100
yards where I could get out to where those fish were?

Still it was a great way to spend a morning. When I arrived at the lake it was
in the lower 70's and was probably about the mid 80's when I headed the truck
home with Big abd Rich singing on their new CB that song that asks that age old
question Why's Everybody Want To Kick My Ass? This new Hick Hop music ain't
too bad.

This has been a strange summer in the Dallas Area. I think we only had one day
where the temp reached 100 and that was not even in the month of August.
It has never been that mild in all of my life.

As I was driving over to bass Pro to tie flies this morning I thought about how
cool it was this summer and this morning. I remembered that when I lived in the
Lubbock area for about a decade that opening weekend of dove season often found
me at a dove shoot in 104 degree weather. I doubt that the high even hit 90
today.

eastern nc was ablaze with hunter's orange for the opening. i put the
bay boat in at rose bay in hyde county and spent the day moseying around
the judith islands and great island. didn't see any dove, didn't hear
any gunfire, but the whisper ballet of the yellow butterflies dancing in
the air over the surface of the pamlico sound - rumored to be the siren
summons for red drum - made a splendid and memorable opening day for me.

we'll miss you in graham county this year. i was hoping rachel would get
a chance to meet you. ...another time, perhaps.

how's the kinky for guv thing going?

While it may say "Tinkerbelle" on your Halloween costume, I believe the name
of the character you are trying to refer to is Tinker Bell. HTH, ****head. <g>

You figured I'd like really bad prose written in the style

I accept your apology on behalf of the arses. However, I think it is beneath a man of
your caliber--rude, lazy, and stupid--to be apologizin' to politicians!

Or a woman, for that matter. Um......well, I guess that's probably not
true, is it? But then, truth be told, many a man has probably sat on one
too.
