Have had some amazing things happen on my river. standing in water casting away and suddenly a beaver tail splashed 3 feet away. Sitting on bank, smoking a freshly rolled fattie and a huge brown swims up 2 feet from my feet and hangs out till I twitch then gone...
. swarms of hatched bugs appear suddenly and a feeding frenzy breaks out for 5 mins or so, then done. Calm, then sudden gust of wind blows tent and camp away, then calm again.
Fishing on just the right amount of magic mushrooms is spectacular. When caught the fish are electric looking , and you just have to let them go. Every cast is a blast and I can see and follow small dry flies way better, energized, day goes by in an instant....Love being one with the river... Except last winter when I slipped on bankside ice and fell hard on ass, layed there for 1/2 hour hurting from head to toe, will not do that anytime again soon........
seems like theres always something awesome happening on river if you seek it out...
