The biggest bow i ever caught in wyoming was 5 pounds and i bragged about it for months . Seriously great fish and great job!

Hooking fish is one but keeping them attached is a different story. I was in big bow terretory last week when fishing the Mohne river in Germany. Even though it was flooding I was surprised by the fact that none of us saw or felt anything. Out of the woodwork came the explanation why we did not got any fish. Seems the tackleshop who runs the river has not paid the bills for the stocked fish. The suppliers of those fish emptied the river by means of electric fishing aka they cleaned out the river to reclaim their livestock. That was the inside story from our local informant. I think I am going postal Back to top kray Newbie Joined: Jan 04, 2005 Posts: 28 Location: Casper Wyoming Posted: Thu Apr 14, 2005 6:06 pm    Post subject: thanks guys kind words are very much welcomed and appriciated i will have that story up later on when my grandpa gets them emailed to me have you guys ever thought of things like why the fishing is good, you know like a superstition like we caught fish when my grandpa was smoking a cigar? well keep em comeing kray Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Flies And Fins Forum Index -> Fresh Water Fly Fishing Forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Flies And Fins Forums----------------Fresh Water Fly Fishing ForumSalt Water Fly Fishing ForumGear, Trips, & Services Reviews ForumOff Topic Forum  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
