Can you imagine Sage letting non brick and mortar shops from selling
on a ebay store????


Do you know Sierra Fly Fisher? It's been a while, but I have walked into
their shop, and bought some flies. Nice guys in the shop.

So far as I can tell from searching on the address given, Sierra Fly does
have a brick and mortar shop. Google maps puts their address in what looks
like a highly commercial area on the satellite pic. They also say on their
shop site that "Half Day trips will meet at the Shop one hour before the
trip start time and will be back approximately one hour after (e.g. 8-1
trip meets at shop at 7AM, back at 2)."

So, your premise doesn't seem to be correct.

Well I called the shop, they are out of business, thus the ebay store.

This guy's a turtle crossing the road...N... about to get squished by an
18 wheeler.

For me, turtles, what with their laissez faire attitude regarding table
manners (have you ever watched one of them eat?.......blech!) and their
failure to respond in any approvable fashion to having their tummies
scratched, have always been difficult to warm to. On the other hand, except
for the occasional irate snapper (who is certainly being deliberately
annoyed by someone with too many fingers, not enough working nerons, and a
curiously indeterminate genome), I have never been apprised of any
justification (real or imagined) for wishing them ill. Besides, they and
all their reptilian and amphipoid kin are currenlty being assailed so
vigorously, whether by design or indifference, by so many lethal forces that
their long and mostly honorable tenure on this planet is about to come to an
abrupt halt anyway. Anyone who has ever been "downsized" (or "supersized,"
for that matter......but that's a whole 'nother rant) should sympathize.

Maggots, on the other hand, have been a matter of complete indifference to
me (except, of course, for their recent re-emergence as a medical tool in
the removal of necrotic tissue) ever since the days when the alewife was the
queen of the Great Lakes, and it was simply accepted that a stroll on the
beach was necessarily followed by scraping the residue out from between
one's toes.

From a practical perspective, we all know that turtles are slow.......but
they can smoke a maggot in the 440 every time. I think we all know which
we're dealing with here.

Get 'im Wolfgang.

Huh? Who?.......me?

BTW, Wolf and Joel (and anyone else who wants to show up), the
forecast for early in the week is for heat followed by a cool down
near the weekend. I'd bet that if y'all get tired of catching bass the
Tricos should be showing up about mid-morning on the Prairie.

The event went off well. No one got into a knife fight although the
women doing a "girls-night-out" camping trip in the site next to ours
came very close to it. Fishing was very, very slow. Although one of
the participants returned the evening after everyone else left and
ended up with 15 bass and two walleyes in the hour and a half before
sundown.

Here are a few pics:

Sorry there aren't more (especially more fish porn) but the river was
way up from dam releases and we were shooting along pretty well.
Dodging rocks and fiushing kept my mind off the camera.

It was great to see my ROFFian bros again.

Some good shots, George. Thanks.
That's a pretty big piece of water for a river - which one was it again?

That's a pretty big piece of water for a river - which one was it again?

The Wisconsin. Haven't checked a map, but I'd guess we were at about mile
150 of roughly 400. It's a pretty good sized stream at that point, but a
mere fraction of what one finds another one or two hundred miles downstream.
And, of course, compared with the Mississippi, into which if flows, it's
just a little bit of spit. Except in the waters backed up behind the many
dams (the Wisconsin is one of those many rivers often called "the hardest
working in the nation"), it tends to be fairly shallow through much of its
length, making much of it easily (if not always safely.....pay attention to
the sirens!) wadeable. Even in my kayak, I often scraped bottom in the
three or four miles we floated. The good news is that this makes for LOTS
of convenient places to beach the boat and fish in likely looking spots.

George is right about the fishing being rather slow this past weekend, but
that's a relative evaluation. I managed to catch about ten fish on
Saturday, and another six or so on Sunday, including my biggest smallmouth
ever, at 18 or 19 inches. We tend to do much better, particularly at a very
rocky section just below a dam just a mile or two above the area where
George shot those pictures. If you're ever in the area, it's definitely
worth taking the time to fish.
