Fly Fishing Blogwatch: The Day Tripper
By Tom Chandler on Sep 7, 2007 in Underground Entertainment
Here’s a blog to add to your RSS Reader: The Day Tripper. It’s a straightforward blog about a guy who fishes a lot, so I alternate between envying him and wanting to leave a lot of disparaging comments on his blog about ignoring one’s family.
Jealousy, it seems, is never pretty. Here’s an excerpt:
I climbed up the cliff and it didn’t take long to spot Geoff an active fish.
“45′, 1 o’ clock”
“Another foot to the right”
“Good”I hear a loud splash and see that 2 guys we passed on the way down flipped their kayak again. Woulda been nice to get it on video. I spot a fresh mud plume and direct Geoff to where it’s at. At this point the wind is really starting to pick up and you can’t see any fish, just mud.
I’m watching the general vicinity his fly should be as he’s retrieving it and see the water swirl and a sudden burst of bubbles hit the surface. I look at Geoff and just as the words, set the hook, are about ready to come out of my mouth, a four letter word came out of his. It took line right out of his hand and was gone before he even had a chance to do anything about it.
