A very young cowboy was trying to fool trout on Thursday when a once in a fishing lifetime experience occurred.
Glancing downstream, there appeared to be a large Sunkist orange feverishly trying to swim towards me. The thing was twenty yards away and was surely scaring the living daylights out of every trout in the vicinity.
Looking more closely, I realized it was attached to a fishing line and being reeled aggressively back to a wild scientist angler standing eight feet above me on a bridge.
I wondered if the old Candid Camera crew was lurking nearby filming this scene.
I’ve fished since the 60’s and never seen anything like this. The scientist obviously didn’t know that these fish may be the most discriminating, easily offended trout in America.
No offense, but the odds of fooling a highly pressured trout with this Sunkist bobber crashing over their heads is certainly far less than The Broncos or Rockies reaching the playoffs.
*** The bobbers pictured here match the color but are 1/5 the size of Thursday’s monstrosity.
