TR: Another Maitland story

Wow! You fished near a "Bubba bait bucket"? You poor, elitist, wretched
soul!

A short one . . .

Went back to the Maitland.

Fished my brown trout weamer all day.

Used my new Daiwa Lochmor 14'6" 10 wt. spey rod and my new Airflo
Delta multi tip.

Got smoked by a steelie about 10 minutes after first line wetting. It
ran the full 120' of fly line and about 40' of backing before it
jumped and went bye, bye.

Burned my fingers twice on the line.

Bubba Bait Bucket didn't help by casting over my line and snagging it
during the fight -- this was after I yelled a warning that I had a
fish on -- a warning that he heard as he looked up and saw me with
some severely bent graphite. Wasn't deliberate, I think his one
functioning grey cell was occupied with something else. Afterward, he
mumbled something that sounded like "Sorry", after asking if it was
still on, and then left shortly after.

Landed four smallies and lost three others. The smallest was about
16" and 3 lbs. The largest landed bent the 10 wt. to the cork. The
largest not landed -- it broke me off -- 10 lb. test. 2X.

The wind was brutal -- again!

Had my licence checked by a pleasant CO.

Had a very nice day.

I now know where I'm going smallie fishing this summer. . . .

You've obviously never fished for steelhead in Ontario or you'd
realize how ****ing stupid is that remark.. I only call 'em that when
they cast over my line while I'm fighting a fish. What would you have
called hiim? Or would you've just blown him away and saved on the
verbiage.

I don't give a **** what they fish with as long as they do it with a
bit of consideration for the rest of us and the resource. "Bubba Bait
Bucket" refers to a particluar attitude, not a social class, nor the
equipment used.

Peter,
OK, you are right, I blew it. Just a smart ass remark that was off base.
Just recently came upon this board. Mea culpa.

Well now, let's not get all carried away and ****. Petah made a strong
statement. You, ditto. He covered his ass pretty well. Big deal.
