when i was forced to abandon my car on 40 overnight, some gentleman relieved my window of its integrity and pilfered my fly fishing sling pack with all my flies, a bad ass buck knife, and some fly floatants. I was pissed for about 3 seconds, probably bout 150$ worth of flies in there.

Then I looked down and I realized that not only did they not steal my fly fishing lanyard with all my tools and someof my most used flies on it that was hanging on the rearview, they also didnt take my 8wt fly rod and reel an my 5 wt fly rod and reel, or my chest waders.

So in the end i couldnt get mad at that. I can still go fly fishing, and I can restock my flies more carefully than I have in the past, which was buying everything that looked good, I kinda have a good idea of what flies i need, and what I can save for special trips away from homewater. I can also organize better and purchase more suitable fly boxes for my dry flies.

Plus, im lucky that I had removed my baitcasting rods and reels and my tackleboxes of spin fishing lures for reorganizing, id have been sick to lose that, so again I can still go fishing with my complete outfit

all good

P.s. i think they might have stolen my gym bag og boxing gloves, wraps, mouthpieces, cups, and shin guards. that or it was in the trunk, i didnt really think about it because i was worried about my fishing gear but the sparring gear was getting pretty worn anyway

thanks for listening

The ol' switcharoo

i think they took the flies first, then saw the gym bag and who they might be dealing with

then left the other stuff as a peace offering

i doubt they knew what was in the fishing bag, other than the knife i doubt they are happy about the score. maybe itll get em into fly fishing, and ill meet em at the eno and dig in them cakes if i see them

that sucks, way to have a good attitude about it

some people would be more inclined to burn down the city if their properties were treated in such a manner

7/1/2011 11:36:00 AM
