Can kind of deal with the idea of bait and a fly rod for a useful purpose so long as mamale are envolved. <br/> <br/>Any ideas on bait? <br/> <br/>PS - remeber to cut the hook out of the #2 woolly bugger BEFORE you cast it in front of the g/f's cat... vet bill are 'spensive and it was hard to convince the vet that the cat found the fly on it's own. G/f wasn't too impressed either.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://squirrelfish.tribe.net">squirrel fishing</a> - 1 reply </div> Sat, 24 Jun 2006 04:21:05 GMT http://squirrelfish.tribe.net/thread/48ccd964-8486-40cd-8e21-f1810be29fac Quinn 2006-06-24T04:21:05Z http://squirrelfish.tribe.net/thread/d6d8bbb2-3e60-4b1b-9577-b80774b78614 <div>Was ummm... politely asked by a guy in a blue uniform to desist my activiries this afternoon in the local park. <br/> <br/>5 weight fly rod, 9 1/2 foot leader with 4X tippet, peanut attached via an improved clinch knot. Didn't work too well untill I throw a few handfuls of peanuts out for the squirrels to get used to first. After that it was a riot, especialy letting them get really close then pulling the peanut a foot or so way.... they would eventuall pounce on the thing and were not so willing to let it go. <br/> <br/>Not as much fun as ratting in the NYC subway, but is was still a lot of fun. I think the best part was watching the other folks in the park. A couple peole commented something positive about fly fishing, untill the figured out what I was doing.... <br/> <br/>Something that has alwasys baffled me.... Fly fishing seems to be almost tolerated and even sometimes a bit admired by even some "protect the animals at l all costs (till my taxes increase) folks", just because we usually let the fish go with an emmence amout of care. Yet it seems that they have no clue that the flies for fly fishing are made out of - fur and feathers of animal who I think didn't surrender thier body coverings wilingly. Go figure... can never under-estamate the cognitive qualities of the politically crunchie.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://squirrelfish.tribe.net">squirrel fishing</a> - 0 replies </div> Fri, 23 Jun 2006 04:11:42 GMT http://squirrelfish.tribe.net/thread/d6d8bbb2-3e60-4b1b-9577-b80774b78614 Quinn 2006-06-23T04:11:42Z http://squirrelfish.tribe.net/thread/4bad4878-b9cc-4347-87c2-8e8a74d29578 <div>have any of you 7 members actually gone squirreling? i have not. but i am now wondering now i could have made it thru 23 years of life without trying.
