Woke up late, but that was ok, still had plenty of time to get where I wanted, and have five hours on this little creek I like.
Loaded up the truck, three rods (just in case) a hand full of reels, ,waders, fishing vest, , extra flies and assortment of tackle, a cooler with drinks and lunch, .
One hour thirty five minutes later.....
Arive at destination take off old flyline put in trash to take home, put one new line. Tackle up..............
I didn't bring my boots............ Again!!!
Expletive, expletive..........EXPLETIVE!!!!
Ok, it's a small creek, I'll just keep to the bank and fish where I can between the trees and bushes. The water is crystal clear so try and get to some riffles and some pockets. Well wasn't having any luck at catching anything but the occasional tree, oh well. Anyway I was walking up the road and this guy and his daughter drive up and stop, he asked how I'm doing, I explain, he offers me a pair of his own boots, says I can mail them back to him. He was from Kentucky, we are in South Carolina. Really nice guy, just blew me away with his kindness. Well I couldn't take him up on his offer however well intentioned he was. He was trying to find his friends and not having any luck. Teaching his daughter to fly fish (beautiful girl).
I think his name was David, I hope he found his friends.
So I thought I would try some more walked down a bank and along a downd tree. No luck, so walked back along the tree to get back and fell! My right leg went up to my knee in mud, thought I was going to lose one of my new sneakers, luckily it came out with my foot.
So before you think I got upset, I didn't. My new free replacement cheap maxcatch flyline actually floated ( thank you Amazon.) the meeting with the guy and his daughter was heart warming.
Shout out to David, (I think) from Kentucky. ?
I will be writing on my cooler, REMEMBER YOUR BOOTS!
