A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion Hobbies, Crafts and Creativity Gardeners Who Fish

Any gardeners around here like going fishing on the weekends when the garden can survive without attention?

You just mentioned the 4 letter f word...lol...

I was out last weekend and we got 12 rainbow trout in 1 hour between 4 of us and 2 where doing it for the first time. It was an ice fishing trip to Chain Lakes 75 miles south of Calgary. In the summer we fly fish the eastern slopes of the rocky mountains. A bad day fishing beats a good day working...


>))))))*> ~j~~

there used to be a thread around here about fishing Let me see if I can find it!


Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm can't find it,,





you've got that right!

Speaking of fishing....has anyone seen njoynit? I haven't seen her fishing stories in a while.

Sorry to get off topic there. I am not a big fisherwoman but I do go once in a while.

I'm not a big fisherwoman either , but I do go once in a while too. I love it, it's so relaxing---even if I don't catch a thing it's just nice to be outside in nature.

I do have my own pole and fishing stuff, when Mark first started taking me fishing years ago he made sure I had the proper stuff. I had never fished before I met him.

BTW, here is the old //www.agardenersforum.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/5512#Post5512

I haven't been able to catch a single rainbow trout; my dad & younger brother caught some. I caught two striped bass last year: a fifteen inch& a five inch.

When life gives you fish, make fish sticks.

I've delayed all of my future fishing trips until further notice so I can get my garden started.

I delayed mine so long, I forgot how??

LOL funny dodge! I haven't fished in a long while either. I hadn't been fishing since I had kids, and my kids were determined to go try it out, so we went. We caught some little lake fish, put them on a stringer, and our fish caught a snake. I have pictures: http://butterflies.heuristron.net/others/fishingSnake.html
We gave up fishing the little lake and tried the ocean pier a few times, but never caught anything worthwhile there. Now that you've reminded me, I'm thinking that if the drought continues and they keep the water restrictions in place I'll have to swap gardening for fishing for a while...

Yuk.......

Gosh I would of run for miles from the snake.. I hate them. Poor girl. THat must of been a huge one for sure.

Florida is full of suprises.
