You've gotta actually get out and fish first Dickie!
And, are you absolutely certain about that guy thing. One never really knows, medium
being what is and all that, ya know?

so, i had a few hours between jobs today, and i decided to spend them
fishing in a gorgeous trout stream i "discovered" - along with several
tourists- the other day. i hoped today would be quieter, since the holiday
week-end was over, and for the most part it was.
i stood nearly waist deep in water, and was feeling good about my casting,
enjoying a few strikes, when a hiker came along with his dog. he saw me
eyeballing him, as he and his canine edged along the bank, as i got out to
change my fly, and he asked if i was still fishing. i replied in the
affirmative, to which he stated that he was hoping to see if his dog would
swim. i told him that would scare the fish away, to which he replied by
saying, "no more than you being in the water." well, i am still pretty
inexperienced, but i'm pretty sure that my gentle, slow wading into the
water, and standing quietly, in a stooped position would be a lot less
likely to spook the fish than his dog jumping, and splashing around in the
water, and i politely related that position to him. he looked a little
****ed off, and grumbled something under his breath as he walked away. i
thanked him, said i appreciated it, to which he replied, 'no problem."
so, who has the "right of way?" naturally, i think i do. i was there
first, and he could take his dog to another part of the stream.
any of ya'll had this happen- what did you do?

I'd have told him my name was Mark Bowen, I live at whatever he
posted, and that I was a electrical phlebotomist or whatever, and that
if he even thought about letting that gawdamned mutt near the water, I'd
rip his eyeballs out and eat them and sell his dog to the Moonies, and
then, just for good measure, go on a multistate lit-****bag-on-the-porch
spree, and he better take his dog and hit the trail before I shoved my
flyrod up his ass...then, I'd get the hell out of there, and go sit down
the street from Mark's for a little while to see what might happen...but
I'm a guy, so...

HTH,
Sam
...of course, you could have "pj roberts," with appropriate particulars,
and, apparently, set up the potential for some REAL amusement...but
then, also apparently, the actual pj roberts might have done the very
same thing...
