I slipped out to Haskell lake this morning just as a big thunderstorm had moved through and caught about a dozen or so on a little white Betts Wiggle Popper, no size to `em but a lot of fun on a 3wt...
A small town Doctor was famous in the area for always catching large fish. One day while he was on one of his frequent fishing trips he got a call that a woman at a neighboring farm was giving birth. He rushed to her aid and delivered a healthy baby boy. The farmer had nothing to weigh the baby with so the Doctor used his fishing scales. The baby weighed 33 lbs 13 oz.
It was a cold winter day, when an old man walked out onto a frozen lake, cut a hole in the ice, dropped in his fishing line and began waiting for a fish to bite.
He was there for almost an hour without even a nibble when a young boy walked out onto the ice, cut a hole in the ice not too far from the old man and dropped in his fishing line. It only took about a minute and WHAM! a Largemouth Bass hit his hook and the boy pulled in the fish. The old man couldn't believe it but figured it was just luck. But, the boy dropped in his line and again within just a few minutes pulled in another one.
This went on and on until finally the old man couldn't take it any more since he hadn't caught a thing all this time. He went to the boy and said, "Son, I've been here for over an hour without even a nibble. You have been here only a few minutes and have caught about half a dozen fish! How do you do it?"
The boy responded, "Roo raf roo reep ra rums rrarm."
"What was that?" the old man asked. Again the boy responded,
"Roo raf roo reep ra rums rarrm." "Look," said the old man, "I can't understand a word you are saying."
So, the boy spit into his hand and said, "You have to keep the worms warm!"

took possession of my new old beater boat last night. I think it will work out just fine. Just need to personalize it a bit now.
Went to the Big Thompson canyon near Estes Park this morning to throw the fly with a friend.
Lots of smaller trout caught with only one notable 16” rainbow caught and released.
Worn plumb out by the time we got done. That’s some swift water and rugged terrain.

Fished lake Estes Co this evening right where the Fall River enters the lake. Caught around 20 rainbows on spinning gear and got one 20” tiger Muskie to the bank before its teeth and my 4lb line met and got cut off.
Great pictures. Are you ever coming home to sweat with the rest of us OKIES? 
Personalizing is great fun, I might have gone off the deep end with mine but its perfect for me.
