My to-do list around home has been getting longer instead of shorter here recently. It seems that everytime I accomplish something and scratch it off the old list , there are three more things waiting to take their place in line. This isn't anything new to me , I've been there before and will likely be there again. Hell , what am I saying , I'm gonna be there for the rest of my god-given life at the rate I'm getting things accomplished these days!
So needless to say I was more or less forced into servitude around the house this past weekend instead of doing what I really wanted to do , which we all know is fish.
I did manage to make it out to the water twice while I was off , one trip over to a local lake not far from the house (what was supposed to be a run to QT for some gas for the weedeater turned into a two hour fishing expedition) and a nice Sunday drive with the better half that just happened to put us in the vicinity of a body of water I'd been wanting to check out...and yes , it was a total coincidence that I'd packed two flyrods and a bag of tackle along!
Both places showed me a little love and I was able to play around with a few of my favorite warmwater residents. While it wasn't non-stop fishing action by any means , when you know the rest of your day is going to be spent trimming ornamental grasses and spreading mulch in flower beds you tend to be ecstatic over the little things like a few minutes of fishing.
Here's to less lists and more time on the water.........
Nice work!! Way to scratch that itch and still take care of business. I like how the gas run turned into fishing and any fisherman worth his weight brings a rod with him just about everywhere! Thanks for this one.
ReplyDeleteThanks man...You know how it is , a guys gotta have his priorities in line!
DeleteThat never ending to do list.
ReplyDeleteYou did the right thing.
The list will still be there waiting on me next time. Some things ,like fishing , just aren't meant to be procrastinated!
DeleteI love my beds almost as much as fly fishing, but if I had the streams you seem to I could be pursuaded to fish almost anytime. Very nice water for fish in a short period.

Thanks Gregg...This was a nice piece of water that I hope to return to when the chance arises. Between the flower beds and fishing...I'm sorry to say but the fishing is just always gonna win in my book.
DeleteHAHAHAHA you just described the honey-do list that I have. Get one done and three were waiting! I love the creativity and I will take a few tips and change my errand routes to include some water time! Loved the post!
ReplyDeleteThanks...I'm not surprised that I'm not alone , might have something to do with our hobbies!!
DeleteI guess I'm lucky. Being married to a fly fisher, she usually encourages me to get out while I can. Chores can usually wait.
ReplyDeleteActually, I'm the list maker around the house so I've got no one to blame but myself. I like your thinking though....chores can ALWAYS wait!!
DeleteChores can ALWAYS wait! Totally agreed! Especially, if they're indoors. Those can always wait for a rainy day. Looks like a good outing. Nice carp!
ReplyDeleteThanks Justin...It appears as though we all have the same feelings towards those chore lists , they can always wait until the fishings done!!
