May in Potter County

With the break in the weather it was time for a trip north. Daily rains have filled the water tables. Here is a shot of the Shit House run. Conditions here will challenge the pro-staffers. Friday night had a lot of egg laying caddis. Fishing was quite slow, no mayflies of any type. I’m thinking it could be an excellent year if the rains ever stop.

Saturday morning had bowhunter climbing the mountain behind camp. A lovely climb that took almost 45 minutes, but I reached the summit in one piece. And I was greeted at the top with a couple gobbles.

Afternoon had me back in the woods looking for leeks (ramps) here is a shot of the mother lode.

A parting shot of Smokey. She is looking forward to sharing all the pro-staffers food.

I like to fry up those ramps with garlic and butter in a skillet full of Lushbaugh Run brookies. The only trouble is my breath winds up smelling like Smokies.; May 9, 2011 at 7:55 AM

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.
