[RBW] Re: Close to my heart

Fishing helped get me back into biking after a long hibernation. A friend and I started heading out on pre-dawn fishing trips carrying beer,ice, and fishing stuff on our backs. About a decade later, He's still fishing but not biking a lot. I'm still biking but not fishing at all. Got tired of

[RBW] Re: Close to my heart

Tenkara fly fishing intrigues me, much the way SS intrigues me and I now love it. Simplicity. No reel, but a well crafted pole and line. All collapsing very small and portable and easy to set up. If I was to fish again, I think that is what I would do. With abandon, Patrick -- You received th

The Japanese take trains go fishing, and their idea of stealth is also saving face - on the way, they don't want their tackle to be in anyone else's way. This little 7' trout rod came from Blue Dun Fly Shop in Tokyo

[RBW] Re: Close to my heart

according to Gary Borger, the IQ of a trout is 6 and the IQ of a carp is 12. He also gives us an out by pointing to stealth - big fish are not smart, they are cowards. Oops, I had to fix my post - I know too many fishermen and gave credit to the wrong one. On Thursday, June 12, 2014 12:02:5

My sister's husband owns a legacy cabin in the federal forest above Pine Creek. He is an avid outdoorsman. Someday I intend to ride the full 60 miles of that trail, probably with a campout in the middle. My fishing activity is limited to a Popiel Pocket Fisherman that I can tuck in the Carra

[RBW] Re: Close to my heart

My "problem" with fishing around here is it's all farm raised. I want to eat what I catch and my brain does far better on wild fed meat rather than grain fed. I could do catch and release, but I'd rather be running or biking than having fish outsmart me. Sardonic grin. With abandon, Patrick On

cool doc, I had a business trip to south central NYS, actually babysitting a critical part production for a client that was going to keep me over a weekend. I booked the weekend at the (now defunct) Blackwell Hotel on Pine Creek in the PA Grand Canyon. The B&B provided the bike to ride to Slat

[RBW] Re: Close to my heart

I will occassionally ride on the Stony Creek Trail east of Dauphin, PA, which is a 20 mile double track that runs along a trout stream for a stretch. It was there that I first encountered "fishing bikes" which are old balloon tired beaters with PVC tubes affixed to the forks for carrying poles

[RBW] Re: Close to my heart

I suspect you and Grant Petersen would have a lot to talk about...since you are both obviously keen anglers and love bikes as well. Nice pictures On Thursday, June 12, 2014 9:42:40 AM UTC-5, Ron Mc wrote: > > Was sent this photo by a e-fishing friend. > It's from *Trout Hunting* by Frank Wooln
