Cooler Fishin

The RBF Pro Staff, always creative, introduced a new fishing method - Cooler Fishin. Midger and Flyrodder put considerable time and effort into the development of this novel and relaxing fishing method.

Simplistic, yet demanding. One must sit upon a cooler loaded with one’s favorite beverages whilst angling. Casting, hooking, landing and releasing all must be done from the cooler. You are however permitted access to the cooler for refreshment purposes.

The Chief, intrigued with the new method, tried it August 2006 at the Paradise. After a very hot morning, fishing the tricos, the Chief hauled his cooler to the water's edge and began casting to rising trout. He managed to hook and release three on a midget trico nymph. He didn’t know he was being watched from a distance. A fellow approached silently from behind and spooked the Chief when he asked, “Are you one of those pro staffers?” The Chief turned around and after seeing a dude all decked out in Orvis garb, responded, “No, I’m the Chief!” “I thought so, I read about Cooler Fishin on the internet when I checked to see about fishing here,” the dude stated. This dude was from Kentucky and he knew about Cooler Fishin! True story!
