It's been twenty one days since I have touched a fishing rod. I haven't organized any tackle or even thought much about what I need to change in my line up. Sure I've thought about fishing a bit but not much. When I do, it's usually about salmon, steelhead, or musky or saltwater fish - like sharks. I want to catch a shark.
In the beginning of June, I told myself that I was taking a couple weeks off. I took three and wasn't that excited to get back. On Friday, my wife asked where I'm fishing this weekend. What's funny about that is that I hadn't even suggested to her that I was even going fishing. I think she felt that it had been a while and just assumed I was getting antsy. But I wasn't.
Still, I felt like I was being pushed out of the house so who was I to deny the cosmic fishing world? My wife assumes I'm going fishing....Im gonna go fish. But where? For what? Hmmmm
I didn't really feel like doing anything big. I wasn't ready for big yet. I wasn't prepared and I wasn't really sure where to even start. I wanted to keep it simple which meant throwing on the waders, grabbing the fly rod, and hitting the river. The problem is that we have had a ton of rain and the rivers are waaaay high. Since I didn't really want to spend any kind of time thinking about how and where to fish, I nixed that idea. Still scratching my head, I receive a text from Ed - FSA Customs.
"Disney in the morning?"
Bingo! Low key, simple presentations, and potentially big fish.
Now "Disney" isn't really Disney - it's a nickname for highly classified area with various lakes that are only accessible by foot. Most importantly, it's a good place to shake a funk. And I did just that. Well, at least I started the process.
Thanks to Ed for the invite and for snappin the pics
We've all been there. Fishing is supposed to be fun. If you're not having fun then like you it's time for a break. Good luck in the future.
