Circus stories

  Fishing the lower fly zone 2 years ago me and at the time 10 year old son. We got up at zero dark thirty to get the spot we wanted, fished it for the first 30 minutes landed a few kings my son lands his second one I help him unhook and release and turn around and there is a guy right where he was standing. Granted we can all get along but taking a spot of a kid come on. I said something and got a attitude from him. He left after a few minutes once he seen other people catching and then pushed in on them. The walks right in the middle of the transitional waters and fishes the hole and blocks a bunch of us out. Thats a good way to make some friends if you know what I mean by the time the morning was done he peeed almost everyone off.

well this was after the Circus left town but I still get a kick..
It was 2 years ago on a very chilly Nov morning in "my" secret spot..
Pull in the lot at 5 something am, yea still dark I know but there was 1 car there and our hearts began to sink..
So we walk in and there are 2 guys , 1 is pounding beers and the other seemed straight sober..
After chatting with the sober guy he said they let their home at midnight to be at that spot by 5am.. His buddy drank all the way up while he drove..
I asked if he was cool with rotating through the run so everyone could have a chance at fishing different water.. Well that didn't go well and he wanted to fish "here".. Ok I said so we walked a bit above him and waited till light..
Still dark we hear this huge SPLASH !! Yup the drunk guy fell in..
So back to the car he stumbles, light comes and everyone starts fishing.. The guy in the prime spot catches a fish and his buddy shows up again with dry clothes but wet waders on..
He wobbles down the bank and wasn't 2 mins and SPLASH !! He is swimming with the fishes..
This time I say to his buddy, "you better take him to the motel before he gets hypothermia"  He agreed , they left and we had a blast fishing the rest of the day..
 
Now next day we show up to the same spot , first in the lot and get our spot.. While later, 3 guys come dow.. The same 2 but with a guide this time.. Go figure...  Now I walk over to the guys , reach in my pack and ask the still hung over guy if he wanted a beer (holding 1 out)... He started dry heaving and headed to the woods puking..
The guide wasn't to impressed and asked if we would rotate the run, just as I asked the day before..
I said sure but rotating means moving not staying planted in there all day..  No problem he said..
Well we rotated with the sober guy and all caught fish.. The hung over guy went back to the car and slept till about 10 am then walked down and said he needed to go back to the motel.. They left..
What a GREAT way to spend a bunch of time and $$$ to fish the SR is all I can say..
 

Tuna- GREAT--wish I was there-
 
  Was up by the Vines coupla years back in late Oct and had a large humpy back hook jawed 'big green' male on--a boat was coming down real slow with one guy on the oars- no fishermen.
 Fella up from me shouts 'cut it off- Warden in the boat'. Kept up the fight--
 Fella start running down my way - no more yellin -the boats gettin closer- 'cut the line- cut it offfff -WARDEN IN THE BOAT"--kept fightin and said 'its OK'.
  Fella gets right next to me and loudly whispers as the boat came by 'break it OFFFF thats a WARDENNNNNN'.
 Warden looked down at the fish as he passed - looked over my way and nodded.
 C&R- took a very small blue sac.
 Some will NEVER believe they bite- but the guy meant well.
