Whats the best or strangest thing you have found while fishing? In the
water, in the parking area? Was it valuable? did you return it or try to?

On the Salmon River (NY), I had a foam fly box of beautiful stoneflies,
hoppers, & a few other nice ties drift down to where I was standing. I went
as far as to look upstream for a fisherman frantically patting his vest; but
the rightful owner was not apparent among the hoarde. I still have the box
& most of the flies.

A few years later, same river, different spot, I turned around to see
something uncharacteristically shiny on the bottom. Managed to pick up a
good-as-new medium sized Penn spinning reel without getting my shirt wet.
Again, nobody nearby with an "oh ****" look. I still have that, too. I
took it down, dried it, cleaned it, & lubed it; but I'll probably just put
it on Ebay one of these days.

gear.

Nope.
On those rare instances where I am able to find sanity, I'm keeping it, by
gosh!

Wow, that is just ****in' COLD, man! ****, has anybody here seen a place
that could use a bit of sanity more than ROFF? I mean, that's like watching
one of those Sally Struthers commercials and saying, "Yeah, o.k., gimme some
more bacon on that cheeseburger!"

Wolfgang
who, come to think of it, supposes that ms. struthers......properly
dressed......could personally feed about half of biafra.
