This thread inspired me to hit a local pond today. Was hoping topwater would be on but couldn’t get more than some good follows, so switched to subsurface. Success - on the board! Managed to get a few to the net, including this little guy. A fun day; the water was murky, the casting was kind...

@Billy in order to assist you further with species identification, you will need to take me to the pond. We must of course recreate the situation where you were when you saw the bird, so, you know - we will need to fish.

If i were to use that fly and fish out of my Hobie (looks like yours), does that by extension mean i will def catch that fish? I’m in! If i also have to wear sandals with socks in order to get the mojo though, I’m not sure I’m in. I’m a flip flops (aka slaps) guy myself. Kidding aside nice fish!

@SurfnFish funny you bring up the Kings. I have never lived in Sacramento, but am a long suffering Kings fan. They are finally back in the playoffs after a long drought.

He was salty - in a good way. A few years ago I offered to take him to some really good skinny water near our MT fishing property (~ an hour from Butte). I even offered to drive over to Butte, pick him up, drive him to the creek, help him get into some fish, then drive him back to his house...

Atlantic salmon perhaps

@Thomas Mitchell I lived in Miyazaki - worked for a Japanese company. Agree with you on the amazing experience! Not meaning to hijack the thread but have you spent any time nerding out on the web checking out akiya these past few years? I keep hoping that a place comes up in a little mountain...

Central America has lots of scorpions. For some reason I seem to run into them a lot in Panama. They are big and pretty creepy. One year one of my friends stepped on a scorpion when we were drinking a few beers after a long day of surf (in Bocas del Toro province - @SurfnFish i’m guessing you...

Congrats Billy on the personal journey and of course on the fish. Noticed you were drinking a Budweiser zero….out of curiosity how close do they taste to your memory of what the original Budweiser tastes like?

He might have an excellent arm and a good head on his shoulders, but the neck he had connecting his head to his shoulders had a pretty scary injury this past year. Has he recovered from that?

Dover Bay! Some good bass fishing during parts of the year in easy rowing distance for you ;)

@Roper - dropped you a direct msg with some info. Wish you luck in your exploration.

If the Panthers moved up, they are likely to take a QB. If there are no other trades in the top 4, and if the Colts and Texans also grab a QB with picks 2 and 3….Feels like this increases the odds that Seahawks could have Anderson or Carter available with the #5 pick. The cardinals will likely...

Good call Hem i had forgotten that - pretty noisy. Fair amount of train traffic in that region (including Sandpoint area, Priest River, etc.). Cocolalla has pike too. Pend o Reille river (my ipad spell check hates those words -finally gave up trying to correct) is an underrated bass/warm...

Yep. You get slaps. I lived in HI for some years and found a respectful attitude and being friendly went a long way. Made some great friends and rarely ran into people who wanted to scrap..and that is despite surfing some of the more localized spots. Almost 100% of the time the biggest jerks...

Flying ant hatch too
