Indians For Guns

reminded me of toxic green fishing trips by Delhi Darlings..except for a Glock

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Like most serious fly fishermen, Tom Teasdale has a little-known place where he finds peace in a river's placid waters.

Standing waist-deep and casting a hand-tied fly earlier this month, he pointed to his favorite deep pool. "This is the honey hole," he said.

Here, the fish are big. The strikes are frequent. And other anglers are kept at bay by the occasional bobbing diaper.

Mr. Teasdale's fly-fishing hole is on the South Platte River, at the mouth of a 6-foot-wide corrugated-metal drainpipe and downstream from a wastewater-treatment plant. The water has elevated levels of E. coli bacteria, according to government surveys. When Mr. Teasdale walks alone past the graffiti-covered overpass and down the littered trail in this Denver suburb, he brings his Glock 9mm pistol to ward off "shady characters."

Hi,

Very nice to read and the motivations are almost the same. Mine is more to do with the fact of a fast shootand scoot type of fishing. Couple of guys with rods get together, few bottles of water or Hop Beverage, some sandwiches if one is lucky and you are set. Actually the main proponent of rag fishing Asif is now overseas. Two weekends ago Nishant, Ollie and Me took off. We spent a few hours casting, observing the cat fish frolicking around the Atta lure and taking in the sweet stench of chemicals and urine.

You start to admire the quarry who can survive under such adverse conditions. Plan to do it again maybe this Saturday if possible. Prolly somewhere near the atomic pond. It's always nice to hear the fish sniggering. But hey1 It doesn't get better than this.
