TR: Killer day on the Andy...

...what those guys said. Flyfish was nice enough not to mention that I
did a full reid in 4 inches of water. Went tits-up in front of all those
people at the lunch stop. Tripped while walking backwards towing my
p'boat up onto the rocks. Made it back home to Indiana within 24 hrs of
leaving Dave's house in Mechanic Falls, ME. It is always worth the trip
to float the Andy with Dave, and this time a pleasure to see Tripper
again and listen to his whooping and hollering every time a fish grabbed
his bug. Hey Trip, thanks for the breakfast and good company, I hope we
can do this again in Sept.
And of course, as usual, Dave and his SO Donna took good care of me,
always outstanding hosts. Thanks Flyfish. BTW, my last fish was the best
for me,sizewise, I marked his length on my oar and just now measured it
at 19", not the 20" I had earlier guessed. I can live with that. ;-)

You guys take any pictures of the water and the fish?

another part of
the US. (uhh . . .still get that here when I pay attention to what is
important, and get out . . .grin . . .just different species.)

When I read a trip report like Daytripper's, I am tempted to drive half way
across the country. there is some good smallmouth in The Glover River in
southeast Oklahoma and it is only about four hours from here. We had a cool
spennand the temp in Dallas was down into the 60's and the high soulld be only
in the 80's today, so I am very tempted. I will have to tie some smallmouth
sized bugs tonight, perhaps a few Los Alamos Ants?

Nope, didn't have a camera with me. The Andy ain't the most photogenic of
rivers on a good day, and Saturday it was chocolate brown from the runoff most
of the float. Dave had a few shots left in the camera when we started and he
used 'em all up, so there's some proof we actually did this thing ;-)

Huge thanks to Dave and Frank for the invitation, the shore lunch and
the camaraderie. And that popper - I'll replace it for the fall trip
:-)

No problem. I hereby testify that tripper was the uber angler of the
day, my fishing was much less successful, but the float, and the
friends there made it worth the trip. Not only did I have the pleasure
of Tripper and Frank, but one of the drift boats were guided by a
friend I hadn't seen in quite a while, and two others stopped by
before deciding to fish elsewhere while we were still constructing the
pontoons.

A good day all in all, despite my poor showing with the fish.

was it as humiliating as that bit of frontal exposure you provided those
scammers that shadowed your doorway a couple of weeks back? been exposing
yourself a lot lately, huh frank? SEG

Vehicular Nitwit Factor

great term.

this factor is definitely proportional to
the amount of precipitation, inverserly proportional to the temperature and
follows
a bell curve around major holidays or events, if I recall correctly.
