Ok …now we’re getting somewhere. Seems my brotherhood (sisters too) have awaken and read between the lines.

Let’s see if my scorecard is accurate…
1st…she dispears for months on end, flashes back to check to see if she has our attention…flashes a couple of big smiles (nice touch by the way) and off she goes again, not a word on what’s REALLy going on in that tent.
2nd….in, out,in again…smiles…teases out the door with a swish of a pony tail….3 post in 90+ days.
Heartbreak, what has happened,where is our girl (FFC) boat captsized, wadsers leak and filled up with water so she can not climb out of the Missouri? No, No No.check this out.
Between the lines in her last 3 or 4 post….

STREAMERS AND DREAMERS…she talks about a “mad love affair” heavy shoulders” and “dreams really do come true”.
THIS IS SO BENETH ME…comments on Tradings Hugs.

And then comes MR. BIG….nothing, silence, just a slight comment.

TITLING AT WINDMILLS…brings us Adventure, Danger, and Romance….

Ladies and Gentlemen now look at the pictures from all these post…da smile,da smile….have you ever seen a smile that gave the TRUTH away.

Lucky dog and I’m not talking about no stinking Labrador.

Jim — thanks for the pat on the back. at the end of the day a warm bowl of pasta and bottle of red wine never tasted so good. we felt like we earned it.

ALFLygirl — I LOVE those cloudveil gloves. it should be noted I am somewhat of a Cloudveil Bunny anyhow so I am biased. but these gloves rock. unlike others, the edge on the open trigger fingers isn’t too tight or too loose. they have some overall stretch, but also substance. I noted on this very trip that they have the windstopper material AND the fleece patches in just the right places for wiping a cold runny nose. sounds trivial but it’s not after 6 days of being in raw cold weather

FFC,
Glad you saddled up and got out there. Nothing like fishing in life threatening conditions to remind you why you do it in the first place: The Rush. We routinely fish the Ohio in weather some people would consider to be freakin’ insane. Wind, snowing sideways, 20 (or less) degree temps. We do it because that’s when they’re bitin’ Big, pissed off hybrids that are itchin’ to break your gear. We routinely do a Black Friday outing every year. It’s either below freezing and nice or below freezing and craptastic. Either way, you enjoy the trip. More so, when the bank fire heating your coffee doesn’t get blown out.
On a side note, I tried steelheading in those conditions, up north, a couple years ago. It doesn’t work, as the fishies aren’t the aggressive eating machines you get down south and they’re so blinded by the muddy water, they start bumping into your leg. Comic and sad.
