RBF Pro STaff: Elk Creek Steelhead

Conditions were arduous but the Chief still did manage to hook six, land four and creel two. Water was clear and low on Wednesday and it seemed that the Chief was the only angler hooking these beasts in upper Elk. Most fly anglers were slinging eggs and spawn. After a couple shots of Jeremiah Weed, the Chief selected a couple of #16 RBF Blueberry Beadheads and caught all on the dropper. It rained all night and all the creeks were up and dirty Thursday so the Chief just visited the tackle shops. Bought a life's supply of cheap split shot and headed home.

The QUOTABLE FISHERMAN

I once tried breeding chickens to obtain an olive dun hackle. While in the feed store buying mash for my flock, I engaged in conversation with a rather annoying woman. I suspected she was a flatlander. She began asking question after question about how I was raising these rather ungodly birds. You see, some were bright green in color. Then came the most annoying question of all. “How many times a year do you skin those chickens?” I calmly replied, “Just once, ma’am; any more than that they get meaner than hell.”

The RBF Pro Staff

The RBF Pro Staff is an elite cast of fly fishing characters with unique and varied talents. The RBF Pro Staff was assembled by RatherBFishin aka Chief during the Big Woods Summit of 2006 along the banks of the First Fork of the Sinnamahoning after witnessing or otherwise learning of various ungodly fishing accomplishments.

The RBF Pro Staff became famous for its ungodly posts on a forum hosted by a local fly shop.

Members of the RBF Pro Staff can catch fish in a sewer. The RBF Pro Staff enjoys both food and drink.

We open doors for women. That applies to all women, regardless of looks. There are no ugly women, some are just prettier than others.

We love our country and respect others.
