2022 SHITTY FISHING PICTURES AND TALL TALES OF THINGS THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN

Welcome to the new dumping ground for 2022. Thanks to all of you for the many years of participation. This year I am personally hoping to see the following:

- SFB's gnarly ass hands squeezing some fish
- glamour shots of Swimmy's satellite dish and boat(s).
- black nitrile gloves
- Boblandia
- one, perhaps two, posts from birdfister complaining about instagram and/or he was wherever you are first
- screen grabs from shitty youtube videos
- random midwest smallmouth
- TNKen using brown trout for bait
- something from people that live in Florida and claim to fish
- Harry's island
- something from Snapped because he doesn't fish anymore
- a goddamn catfish, please

Post your random shit here, and best of luck on the water in 2022!

Oh yeah was just thinking how there's only 6 weeks till fishing season here. Signing in!

6 weeks? I was thinking it starts right after this storm cycle.

Looking forward to using my first 2022 use of black nitrile gloves for Roos. Damn I love those things. Got a fresh box for Xmas too.

Really digging all the YouTube stuff, Roos!

Hope to fish with some of you guys soon.

Harry. Pal. We appreciate your enthusiasm but this is not the place to repost bikini girls that you found on instagram. We all have the internet and know where to find that stuff. I'm sure you understand.

Also Darcy sucks at fly fishing. Like really bad.

one from mid-December.

I haven’t been fishing since last year, looking forward to the 4/20 on the Green shindig. Wife has been organizing old pics.

Wish I was young again.

We casted 1/2 ounce curly tails to willing healthy fish, floated around lake Powell and all around had fucking great time with lifelong friends.

Fuck the pic uploader.

Got it in the mouth, even.

Tasty! Man I havent had a rod in my hand forever, hoping to get up to BobMC's neck of the woods soon to take advantage of the high pressure.

By the way my wife hooked a monster not 40 feet from there.

It was so good to be out we didn’t get off the water to well after dark - luckily the full moon was in full effect.

Brown water numbs the pain.

Raft Jong, Petit TR

So I recently decided, without much forethought, that I wanted to be a huger fly fisherman and get a boat. Now I can't afford/justify/handle anything substantial, so I scooped up a used 9' Fish Cat pontoon. I have boating experience, but sadly very little with oars and mostly as a passenger.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7c989ef4ad.jpg
Obviously the best way to learn is trial and error, so after a leisurely breakfast with the fam I loaded my shit into the truck, stopped at safeway for a six pack and some snacks, and was at the put-in by the crack of noon. I have zero concept of how long floating a length of river takes, and just assumed that I could bang out the 7-mile stretch I had planned in a few hours while also slaying fish and sipping beers. So I stashed the pontoon a hundred yards downriver, clawed my way through a pervasive blackberry thicket back up to the road, and drove down to the take-out.

As a millennial I am confident in the fact that anything I want is a click away. Unfortunately, Lyft and Uber abide by reality which means no drivers in the rural foothills. So I put my thumb to good use in an attempt to hitch back up river. I figured that a white guy in waders wouldn't look like a sketchy drifter, but it still took about 30 minutes until I was rescued by a guy named Scott, his grandma, 3 dogs, and what seemed like half their house crammed into the car. There wasn't a door handle on the outside, but the inside one worked so I felt safe.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...20f4cdf22c.jpg
Finally on the river at 1:30pm. Thankfully the only short section of class II was right at the beginning - good because there hadn't been much drinking yet, but bad because I still hadn't figured out how to row good. But the boat did all the work despite my floundering, and right after I hooked a little largemouth. Unfortunately I have no idea how to land a fish, row a boat, and take a picture all at the same time. Baby steps.

6 beers and 7 miles later, no more fish. An hour in I realized I had only gone a mile, so I dedicated the rest of the river to rowing to ensure I landed before dark since I'm not as ballsy as teleee. 6 miles of forward stroke is pretty tiring, but turns out it's harder to see obstacles coming when backstroking (who knew). It was still a beautiful day on the river, and I didn't spill any beer, break any tips, take any swims, or blow past the take-out.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a20169a84f.jpg
Driving home I had a good laff at all the fools heading uphill Friday night for the holiday weekend, until I realized my wallet fell out of the truck at the river and I had to drive all the way back. Can't win em all.

There is a certain happy-go-lucky joy in sending it with lack of experience for sure. Just figuring shit out on your own versus attempting to glean every shred of every piece of information from the interwebz.


Solid work mang!

Way to get after it bonewrenched! Trial and error is indeed how one learns.

Maybe you can’t win them all, but you sure won a lot by finding your wallet.

Haha, thanks all! Yeah the missing wallet was a huge buzzkill after an awesome day, but finding it was a plus.

I really need to figure out the solo shuttle tactic. Maybe I'll bring a bike and do shorter drifts with more time to fish. I'd also like to figure out a good anchor rig.

Drift boat still has like 8in of ice under rowers seat so went for a walk and had a nice day watching bighorns(no pics) and catching punes. Walter approved.Attachment 406616Attachment 406617

Hi guys [emoji112] There was a sale on Sierra Trading Post for cheap pink fishing poles, and now I have 2 of them.

I have a fishing license so I can go clam digging, and I figured, why not try to catch a trout in the local reservoir (Central Oregon).

There's a guy in town that breeds big ol trophy sized Rainbow trout, and he has an agreement with the city to release them when they stock. It's kind of a right of passage in this small town to catch one of his fish.

I've got intel on the stocking dates, so I'll most likely paddle out and cast from my canoe.

I'm going to Walmart to get a basic tackle box together, and I was hoping to get a bit of advice on what basics I should get?

Please be gentle lol. I'm just a novice and trying to improve.

Oh hey SFB! Nice to see you again. I was at your house last year lol.

You know that Freeride World Tour ambulance driver girl Abi you sold the pin bindings to for $50? I went with her to pick them up in case you were dangerous. But you were real nice and installed them for her in your garage.

Thanks again for that. It was a real homie move.

There’s got to be a local hardware store that sells basic fishing stuff or a General store near the reservoir. Go there and they’ll tell you which hooks and which color power bait and bobbers to get, and you can kill your trout.

never sucks to gits the float n be happy on and bend the whippy sticks again

Poopfish season already?

Some good looking swimmers. Never really fished much but I’m thinking I outta change that. Bob’s stache though, that’s legendary.

Leaky waders, and cold beers, made the black nitrile gloves a necessity, and not just a stylish accessory. Attachment 410267Lots of willing white fish, and a few healthy trout. Attachment 410261Attachment 410263

Wisconsin is thawing out and fishing has started to pick up quite a bit and is only getting better. Been a really good last few weeks and probably have at least 2-3 more weeks of safe ice and by then we'll be able to get out on Green Bay. And the stoke from everybody has me fired up to actually catch more than just bluegills on my fly rod this year!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...23c28f7e5e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ebd01fb1d0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2fd90eb42a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ce4694acee.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...811be61f63.jpg
