Western Clave Thoughts

1. Single malt and Dr. Pepper make a good combo.
2. Don't run out of your medications 3 days before the clave.
3. If someone is looking at a Xerox of a map before heading out, look
at the map yourself.
4. Shortcuts aren't shortcuts.
5. Swamps suck.
6. If you're on a river that looks like another river you've been too,
think of what the best fishermen on that other river would do. (Thanks
to Tom Littleton and Mike Makela)
7. A large bull snake can look like a rattlesnake at first glance.
7.a. There are certain stains and smells that just won't come out of
waders (see #7).
8. You can catch beaver and bats on a fly.
9. If you fish Quake lake at night, you need a bigger boat (and heavier
tackle).
10. Is it really "roughing it" if you have eggs benedict for breakfast
and elk steaks for dinner?
11. Cindy, Nancy and Sabrina should all be cannonized.
12. The crew of guys from Mifflinburg, PA have some excellent
home-brew.
13. You can't tent camp in 107 degree heat and 35 mph wind (Saturday
in Sidney, NE).
14. West Yellowstone is still the fly fisherman's shopping Nirvana.
15. A broken front end sucks at 80 mph.
