THE STORY OF RICHARD, Dick, RICHARDS (DON’T FISH LIKE A DICK)


,

\


HOOKING FISH

You have to give the fish time to close his mouth and turn his head down prior to striking.


Dicks friend Joe Piscator understands

fly fishing is an exercise in problem solving.  As he watches a rising fish various problems present themselves: drag, fly selection, positioning, canopy, tackle, and presentation to name a few.

 

After successfully solving these problems, Joes fly floats drag free into the fish’s window. The fish takes the fly….

 

Joe remembers Gary Borger saying, “Now I gottcha,” before setting the hook.

 

British fly fisherman Oliver Edwards says, “God save the Queen,” and sets the hook, and is rewarded with a solid hook up.


Dick sees the fish rise to his fly, sets the hook then says “aw shoot.”


Don"t fish like a Dick.
