Happy Father's Day
I hope all you Dad's have a happy Dad's Day, I'm taking
mom-in-law up north today where she'll visit relatives until next Tuesday. Wednesday SWMBO leaves for Orlando to attand the ALA annual conference. That means it's just me and the hound dog on our own for 5 days and I'm going to give myself a belated Father's Day fishing trip. Me and Kipper the hound will take up residence at the West Fork Sportsman's Club campground just outside Avalanche, Wisconsin on Thursday the 24th and leave at o-dark-thirty on Tuesday the 29th. Probably won't get in and get set up in time to fish on Thursday, but plan to flog the streams with fishing string Friday through Monday. The guy I talked to said the streams are back in their banks and the mosquitoes are out in force, so if you're in the area bring your deet and stop on by. -- Ken Fortenberry |

Sooooo . . . this temporary bachelor and a confirmed one canoed about eight miles of the Deerfield River today. Wonderful day, good company, a grilled steak dinner at the end with a few nice glasses of Merlot, AND I now know how much water the canoe holds. :( All of the kiddies called to wish me a good day while I was out, so they're still welcome back into the house. -- TL, Tim http://css.sbcma.com/timj |

Happy Father's Day
Well I had the best father's day EVER. Had dinner with my two lovely
daughters and my oldest daughter's husband and I received the coolest cards along with a copy of the Oregon fishing guide, latest edition. I got to spend 3 hours listening to incedibly intelligent and beautiful people that got me to wondering how I could possibly be so lucky to be their Dad and Dad-in law. Then I spent too many hours last night reading my new book. I also rec'd a wonderful gardening how to book that will result in a better garden for everyone. I hope you are all jealous cuz you should be...for I have the best kids on this or any other planet! Bar none! Chris PS Please don't ask me about my kids at the Montana Clave, you don't have the time! |
Happy Father's Day
Mine was great. I got up a little after five in the morning and came in to
ROFF. Scanned some back posts and read about the W.W.II Memorial project. Went to a few links, with photos of tired old soldiers and had a pint of Jim Beam cracked open by ten-thirty....spent the day outside. Around noon, the wife and little girl came out, gave me a card, said the loved me and went back inside, Mercifully short and sweet, I thanked them for that - but - I have been unable to get them to totally ignore me at times like these, or birthdays, or Christmas.... Holidays, days of torture for the emotionally empty.... john "Ken Fortenberry" wrote in message . ..

Happy Father's Day
My Father's Day was spent at the creek below Eagle Valley Reservoir, Spring
Lakes State Park, Nevada, fishing for German brown trout. I got two nice ones before slipping on a rock and falling into a deep portion of the creek, landing on my back. The last thing I saw was blue sky and clouds. Then the water covered everything up. I got soaked. Every inch of me. My Cobra two way radio. My hearing aids. All my clothes. I dragged myself up on the shore, and raised up my wader boots to put my heel on a large rock so the water would run downward and out the top. Lots of water came out. I decided to return to camp and put on some dry clothes. The two browns were about 14" long, and that's something coming from a stream that is only a couple of feet wide in places. Sometimes three feet deep, as the hole I fell into. I got lucky. I could have landed on my back in a rocky section. All in all, a very nice day in a very nice place. Steve |

I hope all you Dad's have a happy Dad's Day [snip] Happy Fathers Day to all you Dads and/or Granddads out there. Being a father of 4 this day means a lot to me. Being a father of 4 aged 15-24 means that I have aged a LOT in the past several years, a lot more than time alone brings. This year is bringing a lot of changes with my youngest graduating high school (you read that right, but it's a special situation) and many of these changes are limiting my angling travels. But I did finally manage to drop a line near the end of today in the local stocked creek in search of some brookies. I was kind of disappointed at first, hitting some very promising spots, but coming up empty. Main problem was the water level, being very low. Surpisingly low in fact. They had only been "promising" in my mind since I knew they were stocking points. Honestly, I had never been to this stretch of the creek at this time of year before. There are some other "spots" on this creek which I'll check up on another time this summer, but today I really wanted to have something tug on my line. Thankfully I didn't come up empty. Hitting the most promising pool ("promising" here in the sense of real brookie habitat, a nice hole, structure, cover, you name it and, upon arrival, having enough water to sustain some fishies) that I knew of in the area I hit 2, one of which kinda LDR'd (fell off right when I was bringing it to hand) and the other ( which I would guess was a very nice 12.1253134" long, I didn't measure it, but this is a pretty good estimate) coming home to the grill which, by the way, was a father's day present (ever the cheapskate, I was cooking on a grill given to me by a friend about 10 years ago, and he had it for about 7 or 8 years...but I digress). At any rate, although I will definitely be squeezing in a day or 2 to get lost chasing trout down south of here, at least there's enough cover and water to keep some trout around close to home, so I don't go stark crazy this year! Although it is not representative, given the temps over the last 24 hours, I was at least encouraged that the water temp was 64-66 throughout the creek, even measured up near a small top water release dam. Another nice thing was giving my latest acquisition (St. Croix Avid AF603 6 ft 3 wt) a decent workout with wet flies. Even with the old 'n cheap WF line I had on there, it did some real nice roll casts and was ideal for the tight canopy and brushy streamsides encountered on Monmouth County's neglected waters. So, a couple of hours for a bit of sanity was nice....real nice. No great tale of big waters. Not a story of a river running through it. But just thankful for any chance to tangle with piscatorial predators using a rod and reel. Echoing Ken's thoughts, hope you all had a very Happy Father's Day! -- Rob from Tinton Falls, NJ |

Holidays, days of torture for the emotionally empty.... john Warren & John, I have terrible memories of several holidays. I don't know your particular situations, but can relate (at least for different holidays). Best wishes that you find a way to peace with the past (or present). -- Rob |
