Got home late after a meeting last night and my bride asked if I had
anything planned for the weekend. I've got an event with the Nebraska
Game and Parks where I'm going to teach a class to "Women in the
Outdoors." Just told the bride "I'm gonna do Outdoor Women." I'm
getting a crap load of the evil eye even today.

My SO took a whole series of classes from that (similar) program (in Texas) -
generally a great idea and a great program, but trust me on this one - DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO TEACH WOMEN HOW TO LAUNCH A TRAILERED BOAT!

I sweardagod there must be something in their genes that prevent them from
backing a trailered boat down a boat ramp...oh, sure, they seem to understand
most of the process, but seem completely incapable of grasping the concept of
"and if you don't mind, please try not to damage anything in the process...."
Six women managed to do a little over 8 grand worth of damage to boat, motor,
trailer and truck, and it was the first and only time I'd even _heard_ of a
trailer jack-knifed on a boat ramp...no, I don't mean "jack-knifed in the
parking lot" or some such, I mean what I said: jack-knifed _on a boat ramp_...

Well, I went. They forgot to tell us that we had no morning class and
nothing to do from 8 a.m. till 2:30 p.m. when the class was to start.
What to do, what to do?....
Okay, this is a private lake at a church retreat facility (really,
really nice facility with multiple cabins, lodges, activities
including zip lines and "confidence" courses). Evidently, the lake
doesn't get ANY pressure. Stood on a broken down dock and cast a
girdle bug across the creek channel running through the lake. The
fish were stacked up in the cool channel due to the 90 degree heat
today. The bluegill that kept nailing the fly AVERAGED master angler
size. Had 7 fish on 7 casts, including 3 bass at 21" in a row. In
Nebraska, Master Angler for a bluegill is 9" or 1 lb, bass is 20" or 5
lbs (length needed for catch and release records). I can honestly
say, I caught over 10 master angler class fish today.
Oh, yeah, taught some ladies to cast too.

I was thinking that it would be fun on a 3wt, but I was casting 70+
feet with the 5wt to get to the honey hole. If you got a 3wt that you
can cast that far, I will sign you up for a demonstration at one of
our club meetings.

Then, out of the blue, as it were, she says Hey, did anyone offer a
response to my observation?

Um......what observation?

You know, about your friend in the fishing group.

Huh?

Which fu.....OH! Um.....no, not yet.

Too bad. Hey, you know what you get when you dig your way all the way
