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

Shame on you for six weeks if you missed this one! We inducted another member, presented our annual awards, caught plenty of fish and one turtle, witnessed two incredible caddis flights and libated to sufficiency. I prayed that God would pardon gluttony when I bit into that Deluxe Burger. The only thing that burger needed was your mouth. The consumption of port wine prior to and during the preparation of the Paella took its toll on the Chief but he managed to pull off another batch better than anyone this side of Barcelona.

Moving paella up for fishing? What about Yucca? And no mention of cooler fishing? Now I HAVE to come next year to try to save the Big Woods Summit from itself.

Hitting a Brown Drake Spinner Fall may happen only once in an angler's lifetime. Sometimes tough decisions need to be made. As for the Yucca, damn Midger is to blame. He single-handedly determined that we needed a break from Yucca and didn't bring the fixin's. The weather was perfect for Yucca, the Official Cocktail of the RBF Pro Staff. As leader, I take full responsibility for this blunder. Well, we sorta Cooler fished. Only this time we sat in the creek. You are encouraged to attend next year's gathering to save us from ourselves.

It was a grand week pleasant company and gluttony. BOWHUNTER - You Rock!!!

We sorta cooler fished - sorta ate a little bit and fished a lot.

I will do whatever I can to keep this event going forward - my god what a great week!

I'll need a few more of those #10 Hare's ear and BHPT nymphs -
