Memorial Day at the Big Woods Summit

Tuesday, May 29, 2012

BWS Summary

This year’s summit was one of the best one’s yet. We encountered coffin flies early in the week and a tremendous Brown Drake hatch and spinner fall later in the week. Throw in caddis, olives, Cahill’s and any other bug you can think of and that sums up the fishing. RBF Gumwrapper was a killer

So let’s move on to the high lights of the weekend ½ pound burgers with bacon and cheese and Saturday night Paella, moved up to afternoon because of the Brown Drakes.

Top it off with Hydrotherapy and that gives you an idea of what you missed.

P.S. Next year look forward to a Hydrotherapy Fishing Contest

Big Woods - Saturday nite Paella

If its Saturday nite at the Big Woods Summit then they must be enjoying the Chief's outstanding paella. The pic from above was from the 2008 summit. Here is the sequence of events that usually precedes the final product: First, there is a Yucca making session at about 4 p.m. Yucca is a frozen concoction that lulls you with its sweet and smooth taste and then knocks you out when you aren't looking. After the yucca, Chief is usually sufficiently lubed to prepare the paella fire and gather all the fixins. Everyone mostly sits around and watches the Chief do his magic with rice, saffron, mussells, onions, shrimp, etc. that eventually results in the delicious fare in the photo above. After pounding down several plates of paella, the prostaffers ruminate over the events of the day and stare at the camp fire. Round about midnite the hardiest of the bunch make their way down the road to the Old Tannery Inn for some after dinner aperatifs, shuffle board, and ogling the big woods belles. Presently, everyone makes their way back to Rossiter Lodge and some shut eye. At least thats the way I remember it. Heres hoping everyone murdered those dumb trout in Potter County this weekend and no one set themself on fire (I'm looking at you Chief). Go ahead and laugh! Agrontrutta

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.
