Trigger Finger?

Start by using your right hand over your left shoulder. Switch hands,
but keep your right hand on the very butt of the rod. You'll find it
easy to cast left handed - well, after awhile.

That's a great tip. I just tried it on my lawn and I was soon casting
tight loops with my left hand. I wasn't even embarrassed for my
neighbors to see me. Thanks, Dave.

Now I have to learn to haul with my right hand. :-)

You'll get better results it you try typing "trigger finger" into that
box on google, btw.

I learned it very quickly my first time in a drift boat with Peter
Charles, chucking big streamers to chinook salmon. If I didn't cast
left handed (or right handed over my left shoulder), both Peter and
the guide were in peril. I cast left handed alot when I have the
current of a stream coming from my right; it's natural to cast
up-stream with the left hand (or over the left shoulder). It's a good
skill to have if you are close in with others, ala a drift boat.

Tired that, and got a lot of repetitive sites that talked about the
physiology and several treatment options, but none of them went so far
as to tell me if it was something that, once you got it, it was chronic
or if it ever went away for good on its own.

So I went to the doctor today (used my "I leave on Monday for Hong
Kong" card and got an immediate appointment with a hand specialist),
and he gave me lots of great info. Basically, he said that without any
sort of treatment, it might go away for good, it might go away for a
while, or it might hang around for a bit. Without knowing the real
underlying cause, it would be hard to tell. However, with a cortisone
injection it had about an 85% chance of going away and not returning.
If it did return and a second injection did no good, then surgery would
eliminate it for good.

So I had an injection, now my finger is sore as hell (as promised), but
word is that in a day or two, it should be gone, probably for good.

If you get too many of those injections, you could possibly end up
fingerless!

Op --who knows that "it" MUST refer to Myrons finger!--

That's right. We'll see. I, for one, will believe it when I see it.
Anyone know how to calculate odds on this issue? If I were a bookie,
I'd be taking bets that Bruiser still fishes more than the rest of us.
And who would bet against that???

I bet you're right Bevin. I wouldn't want to see it any other way, though.
It's rare to see such consistent intensity and constant BSEG on one's
countenance simultaneously. It think its great that Bruce's hand has
recovered so well.

I want to see Bruce and Chas' son Andy fish together sometime. That
could turn out to be quite entertaining! That enthusiasm and intensity
is contagious and fun to be around.

The last few times out with Jeff Miller, he showed me more of that
intensity than I had previously expected. His intensity has more of the
quality of a quiet, determination with alot of endurance.

Yes, it is. And from all accounts, Andy fishes most Brucefully. Maybe I'll
meet him somewhere along the line.

Fishing jeffully (millerfully?) is more like quiet solitude with minimum
motion, punctuated by that eerie, slightly maniacal chortle as he sticks a
fish. Also very fun to be around.

Both of them will keep you out on the water till way past my bedtime.
Another good thing.

Bruce's hand is recovering. His energy and intensity are amazing and
inspiring, but I'd like to see him relax a bit with that hand. He should
be careful of injuring it again.

But you're probably right, Bevin. :-)

Bruce, are you bringing rods with fighting butts? It makes a big difference.
