The challenge was not all that difficult for me to pull off with one bass and a few panfish. Your modified challenge of three fish of each species is much better and eliminates the possibility of a few “lucky catches”. <br /><br />The Mano a Mano element and the “How Fab’ is ‘Bait-N-Wait’? “ article would be a tough sell for me. I don’t think I posses enough sarcasm to do the article enough justice. The challenge is not so much a test of fly skill versus you and I as much as it is…can I fish for more than a few hours with a fly rod before busting it to splinters and using it for toothpicks on the way home. If I fly fished more I would purchase bamboo rods as they make better toothpicks. =)<br /><br />As we roll into summer, the fly rod for the warmwater scene can be better than the spin gear at times. If I would simply embrace the fly rod more it may add that extra level when I need it most. That is what makes this challenge such a worthy undertaking. <br /><br />Shoot me an e-mail and we can take this discussion offline to fully barter terms, negotiations and my possible fly fishing defeat. I respect you highly as a fly angler and a blogger and welcome any conversation. Man…Nice Cutts by the way on your recent post. Those fish are splendid!Coloradocastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09119352004897572752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337379767320336838.post-20875739824461373792010-05-11T15:55:48.906-07:002010-05-11T15:55:48.906-07:00Wow!! I like your attitude. A fishy one at that......Wow!! I like your attitude. A fishy one at that...<br /><br /> I love the challange you propose here this is a wonderfull Idea.<br /><br /> You have to catch three species of the size you said on the fly, by july 4th or I have to write a big ol blog about nymphing and post it on your blog???.. you have yourself a d-d-d-d-dea,,,<br /><br /> Wait, wait, wait, these are all your rules.... how about... If I catch the same three species, in the same size bracket, in the same time frame, on the fly,, but I up it to three of each species.. pictures of flys in mouths... first one done,, has to write a short blog about how great worms and salmon eggs work... whatcha say Matt you in??Bigerrfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02792787195626433425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337379767320336838.post-48399262606136490192010-05-11T06:20:28.768-07:002010-05-11T06:20:28.768-07:00Fish have made better friends than a lot of people...Fish have made better friends than a lot of people I have met. A 5lb bass has never cut me off in traffic. If it were going real fast, I would probably cast a ½ or ¾ oz spoon in firetiger pattern. <br /><br />Landing big bass on the long rod is not easy. However I will gladly accept this challenge as you use both with proficiency. Now is this merely a one-sided task or is there some type of reward or incentive involved? <br /><br />How about I land 3 species of fish with the long rod by say, July 4th? Of course there would have to be some legitimate standards involved; 15” keeper size for bass, 6” for panfish and 12” for trout. At least one bass must be in the mix or its all for naught. <br /><br />Hopefully I can get Don or someone else to tag along for extra photo and video work. I can’t promise full video of the entire escapade but do promise there will be no shenanigans on my part. The fish gods would surely smote an angler for trying to pull a farce on such a challenge and my 3 or 4 regular readers know I have all the bad luck I can handle right now. <br /><br />If I complete…you will test your skills as a writer and complete a 500-word excerpt on nymph fishing to be published on my blog. No fancy dry fly stuff either. I want your ugliest bad weather flies that hang in the box until January. <br /><br />If I do not complete…I have to fish the entire month of August exclusively with a fly rod. What say you? You should start writing now…I am already dusting off the fly rod. =)Coloradocastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09119352004897572752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337379767320336838.post-35056120300152530392010-05-10T05:39:45.379-07:002010-05-10T05:39:45.379-07:00K so now you are making friends with the fish you ...K so now you are making friends with the fish you have caught before?....
