Thanks for the company, lots of fun and lots of stories. too bad I didn't put one of them little fish in the boat. oh well maybe next time. we'll have to set a date for them tiger trout some time next month. thanks again Pat, talk to you later.[/quote]
[#0000FF]I always enjoy fishing with you Chuck. But you are going to have to practice more than just going out with me a couple of times a year. As you well know, those walleyes are twicky. You gotta keep your skills honed and stay in tune with their movements and their changes.
The lower water this year has brought back memories of similar conditions in years past. But the walleyes we are fishing for were not around the last time the water levels were this low. They may have some instincts about where to go and how to survive but they don't have the same memories we do. So we just gotta get down and conduct some training sessions.
Your BFT handle is well earned, over many years of successful walleye pursuit. Not many (if any) other Utah anglers can honestly lay claim to having caught more walleyes than you have in the various walleye ponds of this state.
Just goes to show ya though. Those fish can humble anybody at times. Even the best walleye tangler in the state has to smell skunk sometimes. The flip side of that is there are just as many or more walleye caught by rank amateurs...or folks who are fishing for something else...caught by accident. Anybody who claims to be able to catch walleyes on every trip will lie about other things too.
