I waded in this morning It was drizzling rain The water at my feet Had a steelhead stain I heard a fish roll And an angler moan They say the great runs Are a long time gone A long time gone A long time gone If you want good flies You gotta t-i-e Fish are gonna judge them With an e-y-e The big ones hide Under the l-o-g If you wanna get em out You gotta d-i-g You gotta d-i-g You gotta d-i-g Floating good rivers Is what matters to me What makes me want to fish Every riffle I see I was drifting this morning Now I’m drifting again Every gravel bar I see Looks like a place to put in A place to put in A place to put in I got a big fish On the front of my hat Chasing down the lunkers Is where it’s at Where it’s at Where it’s at |

SlowElk: "Johnh: "Since we are getting into fishing poetry, I did a little of that once. I actually rewrote a song I like. If someone recognizes the song I will be impressed. You might like it. Or not. |

Bumstead: "I read it in the Winter issue, QMike. May have been one of the reasons the BW bug bit me just after the first of the year. Thanks for your inputs to BW Journal." I'm glad you liked them :) |

Anyhow, it is Waymore’s Blues by Waylon Jennings. Thanks for guessing. I have not read QM’s poetry yet but I expect I will. What happened to Master Tangler? That guy posted like crazy and had good fishing advice. Did he just leave or maybe he got too excited about something and got the boot. |
