The Pit wins again!!!

Have to share this e-mail with the world. Funny story. This is my buddy Phil's latest trip to the Pit river, a river that has tried to kill every angler that dares its banks. Dead Horse is a spot we named because we camped there on a logging road and one year someone dumped a dead horse. Kiene knows the access since he hooked a huge fish years ago and jumped in the river to chase it. Back in his figtin' days'.

Here is the e-mail which reminds me of a chapter right out of "Trout Fishing In America".:

Broke my six weight 3" above the cork coming down Dead Horse, held the reel section in my teeth as I payed out line w/ my left hand and held the 6 feet or so that remained of my 6 weight in my right.

Landed 2 dozen.

Hey Galen,.... Great story. I did something similar on a Shad in The American (above San Juan Rapids) many years ago. Still get good laugh out of it. :D :D

Too bad Brautigan's gone now. I still have a copy of the book. Between he and Russell Chatham, they're my favorite authors. 8) 8) 8)
