I took my son fishin today he wanted to spend time with dad. I started the day off flusterated the river was 1800cfs faster then last weekend and I had a hard time geting my fly down. well I was having trouble and my boy could scense it. he turned and looked at me and said dad isnt fishing susposed to be fun, it hit me just then, lets get outta here, so on the way out we stoped by some ponds I knew about and took the 6wt single hander and watched my son whack bluegil after bluegil. moral of the story, why fight the river, there are plenty of good days on the river why force the bad...........Nate

Nate, very well said.

If you're not having fun, why are you there. Been more than a few days where I said 'screw it, your minds just not in it'and gone home.

Think you had a far better plan!
