Apparently there's a community of East European immigrants -- Russians, Ukrainians, Baltics, Slavs, etc. -- in the Portland-Vancouver area. They frequently come up to Speelyai Bay for weddings and recreation. On this occasion, a group of young people who had been swimming got out of the water and changed in the parking lot as we came in at the end of the day. People from that part of the world don't suffer from our Victorian inhibitions, and this group stripped off their swim trunks and bikinis in the parking lot right in front of us.

a sad sad day really. my little brother "over books" the one fishing event on "his" lake!! i think the pressure got to him!

i know i would be there if i could! i didn't over book. i have the United States Army telling me i can't go!

at least i got to hit one tournament this year. :D

i'd watch out for muskyman and my dad, they are VERY DUE! i know for a fact my dad will catch biggest squaw fish! and muskyman has the pan fish category locked up!

i've been fishing a couple times down here in Texas. man i gotta tell ya, i miss the home waters! the lake i was at, is covered in litter and not maintained at all! it makes you appreciate the clean clear waters on the northwest! i can't wait to get home on the next leave and get a line in the water. i need more then one mucky for the year!



good luck today guys and gals!

Yeah, Big Brother Texas Sucks!!!
Wait till you get to IRAQ, and get some KARP fishing in!
It was a sad day, I was in Tikrit Karp fishing and I was mad when I had like a 5lbs Karp follow my Lure, all the way to shore and not bite!


Golly, sure sucks for me I got a Fourday weekend coming this weekend!!!
Whatever will I do?????
Thats right Musky fishing at MERWIN!!!
Sucks to be me!

This might explain why your barrell knot didn't get tied correctly...and maybe stay away from the wood...HE HE ...zingah!!

I have an idea! For one of our winter chapter meetings, let's hire a stripper and spend the entire evening practicing tying barrel knots! We'll probably see our membership double in one month!

Congrats to the winners, runner ups and the honorable mentions for the Merwin Tournament. You all did better than I did fishing/camping at priest lake with a 20" lake trout hooked and lost at boat side.

As far as next month's stripper/barrel knot tying meeting where is it going to be held? I don't think round table pizza will appreciate cleaning up the pizza and spilled beer off the floor after the stripper knocks it on the floor to perform some table dancing although I definitely need to work on tying some of my knots!!

Don
If you'd change your knot of choice from the barrel to the palomar or double palomar, I'm sure you wouldn't be tired enough to mess it up and leave a lure in one of your/our fish! It's an easier and stonger knot! Thus, you'd land more fish and probably tripple our membership once they saw all those huge fish from Merwin!!!!! Then we could donate the stripper savings to WL.com and not offend our female members.

Just a thought.

Can I redeem myself by mentioning there were naked guys running around in the parking lot, too?
