New Years Fishing Resolutions
Gentlemen,
Well the time has come for those pesky New Year's resolutions. So, I'm asking what your fishing related resolutions are. I'll start the thread off with mine: To spend more time in the workroom fixing more bamboo rods so I can pass them down to others who will (hopefully) appreciate them. And to try to make the "One Fly" much better than it was last year with the help of my friends.

Well for starters if you want to pass a bamboo my way I would not only appriciate it but I would cherrish it......
But my resolution is to use my nippers instead of my teeth, sooner or later I'm gonna end up chipping a tooth like my Dad did....I mean there on my chest pack just hanging there readily accessable but I still use my teeth....

I resolve to catch more fish this year than ever before. With friends with boats, who needs empty freezer space?  I also resolve to stop calling-out people here on FishUSA.com. Sort of a kinder, gentler T.T. in '08. Yinz can make all the stupid, irresponsible, arrogant, and irrational statements yinz want. I'll do my best to leave the rational-reply duties to *commander*.
Oh, screw it! Not gonna happen! I've thrown that resolution right out the window.

I resolve to quit my job and be a fish bum and drink moderate amounts o whisky after the sun sets. Or a more realistic resolution to fish more. Probably will have to quit the job to do that...

I resolve to not break anymore bamboo rods.... Of course, that means not taking them with me to the stream...  What I would love to do is to land a muskie on a fly rod. I would settle for a pike... Good luck to all and may your fishing dreams all come true.

get my Mo-Jo back. had a rough day on the 30th. Started out slow with only 3 bites from 9:30 to 11am. (not even close to landing any of them) i left that area and headed to another spot. Finally found some dumb fish that were more cooperative, but still couldn't land a one. AND none were even on long enough to claim my famous "no touch" release ..L.T.A.

My resolution is to not get aggravated by the idiots who push me out of a spot I sat and waited to get. Happened to me twice on 20 mile last week. First time this guy comes in not 3 feet upstream and drifts 30 feet past me, so I have to wait for him. Second time two guys come in about five feet away, upstream, and one guy says to the other, throw right in front of that guy(me). And it was not like there was not plenty of water to fish. That's why the east side sucks now, just like the west side. I also resolve not to get annoyed with the silly****reports that make out the east side to be a Shangri-La, probably to draw people away from Elk and Walnut. One day last week there were 30, yes THIRTY guys fishing the thirty yards of fishable water on 12 mile. What a joke. Eight guys around a hole 3 feet deep, and a little larger than my living room, with one idiot standing in the hole. In the immortal words of Forest Gump, Stupid is as stupid does. Happy New Year! Be prepared for snow and slush up here, y'all.

To meet and fish with more guys from the boards. Also, to get MO to become a purist and stop fishing with bait.
The Lord has blessed us all today... It's just that he has been particularly good to me.

To be more tolerant of stupid people who live just to cause trouble for other folks. After all, their Mom had to love them at some point in their life.
Spend more time seeking new waters to fish. From wht i understand, I got some nice area to cover.
Oh yeah - to spend more time with brother.....
