This actually happened!!!!!!!! They dressed the truck up with the guy tied down on the roof. The driver and passengers put on Moose heads. Then they went down the toll road Interstate, causing 16 accidents. Yes, they went to jail... Yes, alcohol was involved...

This proves that men cannot be left alone.

Fishing report for December 2012 - January 2013 With summer starting to turn up, the winter spawning rivers are now finally slowing down with good dry fly fishing on the rivers in the afternoon/evenings now with some brown and green beetle about. You would have to think that the cicadas will be hatching soon if the heat carries on and well worth casting a cicada fly when the singing is good. Mixing up dry flies on dark and at night on the rivers between black, brown and green dry flies to see what the fish are taking on the night is the key as there are mayflies, caddis and stoneflies of different colours hatching at the moment black, brown and green mayflies and of course blue-dun and lace-moths will be about too. The summer nymphing and wet lining in the rivers is still worth a go in the mornings with the green and brown woolly buggers on the sinking line and the hare-coppers and pheasant tails and green, white and brown caddis with also black, green and brown stonefly nymphs to mix it up depending on what is hatching at the time. The summer lake and river mouth fishing will soon be happening as the smelt come into the shallows to spawn over summer. With the warm water use smelt flies during the day and black flies and lumos at night at the river mouths will be worth a go. The boat fishing on Taup should be picking up soon with some smelt being in deep places but the fish on the lake still seem to be handy to find. Moving around is the key to finding them with the smelt flies and lures. Tight lines everybody and good luck Stephen de Malmanche.
