Annual Christmas Summit

Today the annual Christmas summit was held on Spring Creek. Today’s event was highlighted with the new Big Woods Summit Grand Champion award. This coveted award was determined by the 2 fly fishing competitions held this past May and sponsored by the Rossiter Lodge. This award was delay during the annual BWS because of the thousands of hours of R&D that was required for development of the award.

Chief was crowned the Champion during the event.

Season's Greetings

Various reports via social media indicate that the annual Christmas fishin gatherin was a success today. Look forward to any and all reports of the goings-on from Spring Creek today. In the meantime, here are a few meager pics of my few and far between flyfishing sojourns around south central ND this summer. I found a quiet place to target small mouths with a fly (streamers and poppers) on the McClusky canal about an hour north of Bismarck. The canal is a remnant of the last big pork barrel western water project in the west. It was to take water from Lake Sacagwea to central and eastern ND for irrigation of field crops. Never was realistic and basically was a boondoogle. Its lasting legacy is as a fishing spot for the likes of me.

A couple of smallmouths that fell for streamers.

Hope all prostaffers and their family enjoy a peaceful and loving Christmas time and a prosperous New Year. Carry On!

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.
