Novi, MI Posts: 2608 | Jason, Just re-reading Charlie Fox's short story, "Dawn of a New Day"...It's about a guy who found the biggest trout in the stream and would hook it, only to have it rip downstream into a holding area lined with jagged limestone...He would shred his line every time. There was only one way to cast to the fish in its feeding lie. His solution to this problem was to not attach his fly line to any backing...He hooked the fish and he spooled him and he came back the next day and retrieved the dangling fly line, hanging downstream, and played the fish...At least I think he does, I haven't finished the story. Craig Mathews has a vid out where he's fishing Tenkara on the Madison...He hooks a big fish. There is a set amount of line on those rods...He tosses the rod into the river and lets the fish swim around with it for awhile. The fish "wants" to return to it lie, and eventually it does. He then steps into the river and picks up the rod and lands a tired trout! Were there is a will... I guess this speaks to the bow-&-arrow cast thread elsewhere...:) I had a friend that couldn't handle my obsession with one fish...The harder the situation the more it seemed I use to become obsessed. After some time he would yell at me to just leave that one alone and find another in an easier spot...I think this puzzle solving is part of the attraction to our angling pleasure. Spence | |

Posts: 3 | HELLO! I couldn't find another way to do this, sorry. ~ I want to comment/ask a question on another photo elsewhere but it's only forcing me to Facebook even though that is supposedly an option. I don't want to go there. How can I communicate with the person who took the photo please? Thank you. | |
