I have a question; what qualities define a “true fisherman”? As you ponder your own personal specific criteria; -i.e. how many years fished, types of water fished (rivers, still water, salt water, etc), the size, quantity and quality of fish caught. Ask yourself this, “to qualify as a true fisherman, must a person actively participate in educational and conservation programs that sustain and enhance various fisheries, or better yet, mentor beginning fishermen?”
As an angler, I have evolved; at first, it was about catching FISH, then it was about how MANY fish I caught. As my angling experience evolved, it was all about catching BIG FISH, then LOTS of Big Fish and now after 35 years it’s not about total numbers or size of the fish, it’s about getting out, sharing the experience with others, making sure that there will be fish in the rivers long after I’m gone. I cannot think of a better way of getting to know someone then by spending a day on the river. Over the years, people who were once casual acquaintances have now become “buddies” after spending time floating a river.
Although many of the rivers in the Rockies are now just starting to fish well, fall is fast approaching. In September, ClackaCraft will be attending several events. You can check out where we will be, by visiting our events page http://www.clacka.com/events.htm . At a couple of the events, you can purchase tickets to win a new 2008 ClackaCraft Drift Boat. We are strong supporters of national conservation and educational fishing organizations, our goal for 2008 is to generate $100,000.00 via various fundraising campaigns.
Here in Frost Bite Falls, ID warm, windless days are numbered and I am taking every opportunity to go fishing, meaning that I would rather be fishing then working. Thus, I am filling this page with photos rather then words…
