went on friday.  beautiful day to be on the water stillwater flyfishing again!  Only saw 3 fish rise all day...got no action on chironies.  It was fun, till the kayak club came out.  Man the motor boats are annoying.  When he comes out (often 2 boats), it just turns me off and really makes the whole experience unenjoyable for me.  are 10 horse motors really necessary? Waves, motor noise etc...
I know it's been discussed before, but this guy just loves to tell people who tell him no motors .."I'm exempt"!!  he says it's for safety...but c'mon he uses it 100% for coaching.
I could rant all day about it, but I guess I just have to get used to it or fish somewhere else.

There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot

I couldn't agree more fly fisher! They shouldn't be using a gas motor except in the event of an emergency...

Yes last year. What about this year? Our local lakes have been producing for a month and a half and have yet to hear a word about Pumpkin Heads. What is a Pumpkin head anyway? In my analysis I would say it is a modified Woolly Bugger or Woolly Worm with an orange bead for a head. Which speaks to me of an egg sucking leach, orange being more visible in murky water. Okay Whonnock tends to be murky, so lets get some reports.

I guess this is as good a place as any for my inaugural post.(oops, I see it's actually my third post)

Newsman, the pumpkinhead is what it is! Thanks for showing so much interest!

Thanks Todd. Had forgotten that I joined way back when but I hear so much about this site that I had to see what all the clamour was about!

Don't worry Rod, John also likes to chuck bait. I wouldn't have believed it myself but I saw him fishing worms under a bobber at Mill lake last week.  :D
