Zog Catch Fish

By Tom Chandler 4/28/2012

Small stream brown trout
 
I made it into my "Hail Mary" alpine stream (well, the lower access), but had to shovel a little snow to do it. Sadly, once in, I discovered it was over its banks. By a lot.

Without a trout to satisfy Zog the Fly Fishing Caveman, I headed for the backup stream, which was pretty damned close to perfect. On the second cast, I caught the above-pictured brown trout.

Zog happy.

Spent the rest of the day idly throwing the dry and running down my list of new stretches of water to try.

Tried them I did. Caught fish I did.

This, I think, is going to be an interesting year.

More when I get time to write it.

See you on the new water, Tom Chandler.

Ah.. that’s Water-Ouzel... little bird that dives n the water to get his dinner, that aside, I would be happy to help you. The way I see it Zog was good in his day, willow rod, bone hook, victory dance, flinging fecal matter at passers by. There is nothing wrong with this and I respect it, but the sun may have set on poor ol’ Zog. In the de-evolutionary process, Gollum has Zog by the scrotum. Catches ... more fish with his teeth ( has just a few)…only wears a loin cloth, what a role model! You say who could do such a feat? Read James Proseck “Fishing the 41st Parallel”, Proseck’s buddy actually dawns mask and a snorkel to catch his quarry, its sheer balls out crazy stuff!

Waterweasel Could you explain so a Zog like me understands? No fancy dictionary in this cabin.

Endogenous opioid peptides function as neurotransmitters that make Zog happy, still.... Gollum had the answer to the quest: "Alive without breath, As cold as death; Never thirsty, ever drinking, All in mail never clinking." tw
