Popular Post Further Posted March 23 Popular Post Share #1 Posted March 23 Old fart babbling stories of yesteryear... Me an Lucky were going to fish a section of whitewater, Lucky grew up by the river and had fished it hundreds of times, caught trout by the bushelful. Fishing out of an inflatable raft. I had whitewaterish canoe. We're standing at the launch point and Lucky is expounding on how the put in and take out points are only a hundred yards apart even though we covering a half a mile of river. I'm looking at the river and thinking that looks rough. So I ask Lucky how long it should take to get around the loop ? About half an hour, maybe a bit more. "How bout we leave the gear in truck and make a circle round, a scouting trip, then we grab the gear and go fishing" It took 3 hours, the canoe had a hole in it, and a broken thwart, we were both exhausted and close enough to drowned to have made some new promises to the almighty. Lucky knew all about inflatables, nothin about canoes, I had never been on whitewater before. I read up on it after the fact, white water is a lot different from a lake and we did everything wrong. Only thing we did right was leave the fishing gear in the truck. 4 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grape kool-aid is a great mixer with vodka, when you are in college. Ribbons of purple puke is a fond memory from one party. It is funny that I mostly remember how fun the whole night was, and can easily laugh at the puking part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
