whats the buzz

[fishskibum]

ill tell ya what happened
cicada madness
Probably the bestest since the fire of 02 burnt over 22,000 acres
High water push came and went early this season everything seemed a month behind
more like a may or june snopack in july
and the big bugs of buzz
showed up in force

Anytime you git that kind of easily available biomass along a river corridor its gonna change them troots feeding habits
and twas a season of foam chompin

got the better 1/2 out a couple times
she don't fish but likes time on the sticks and the travel and camping along a special waterway

and its pretty rare whens there aint a landseer newfy furkid copirating in the back of the tupparewhare mothership hog

or watchin over camp

truth be told im a tug as a drug of choice guy


but after blowing a few to many eats I tightened up the dryfly game and made em pay for foam chompin




th[URL=http://s5.photobucket.com/user/skifishbum/media/fish%20stoke%2018/SavedImage_0706190756e12_zpshvchmx6r.jpg.html]is glutinous pig chowed the cicada with a 6'' sculpin stuck in his craw



made it out with the crew and I try to fish a bit with my old man when I can


tough summer for him as divorce #3 is taking a financial and emotional toll
but im stoked hes got a new fishin squeeze and shes a good person who seems to enjoy the things he does

stoked to git her into her first gr troot

probably be better for me if I quit after the first or didn't buy a drifty but im a hopeless addict now and an enabler







my steamboat greenie friends came over for an annual rendezvous of river rattery

and the bro who was along side me a couple decades ago when the doing of the thing was the I do's of matrimony showed up for the best day of dry fly catching hes ever had


bullles showed up to party

the boys brought the lutz

the smokers smoked


fish got stuck

fish got let go so others could enjoy the catching

and the cheers of appropriate buzzes were counted as blessings
