Here’s a fish gal who is a personal friend of ours who brings a little sunshine to all who know her.

Thanks Aimee, you’re a breath of fresh air!

Nice trout!

Like I said, a little piece of sunshine!

Alright, alright….

I hear you…..I’ve been chuckling to myself all morning as I am slowly realizing that I know some of the guys who I quoted on my last blog.

The kicker?  They’re guys that I like….Guys I sincerely like.

I’ve been a waitress long enough to know that women can be just as cheeky.  I will argue though to the ends of the Earth that they aren’t quite as vulgar and they certainly don’t go out of their way to voice themselves online, or anywhere other than a group of friends for that matter….nonetheless, I know what’s said on a girls night out.

Anyhow, fair is fair.

You win….

Off to the river!  It’s Sunday baby!

Ape.

Dear God,

If I have to gag at one more ‘fish of the week’ picture of a topless fruitcake, I’m going to have to make sure my lunch is damn good so it tastes half decent the second time round.

Is this seriously what grown men do with their time?  (Alas, most of you are not this pathetic and I apologize in advance for those who may be offended.)  But really, the whole forum mentality of “I did her” is just so embarrassing….

Reality Example….

“How in the hell did you get a picture of my girlfriend?”

“Thaaaaarrrr she blows!”

“I think I did her”

“Dang I like an arched back. It makes me look right past the cottage cheese on that butt cheek.”

“I wonder what she was really holding in her hand?”

“looks like she just felt some skeet hit her back”

“Do you think it was a cock?”

“There’s nothing wrong with that!”

“..lol nice !”

“Enjoy my sloppy seconds!”

“there must be something sticky between her shoulders…

I didn’t think I could still reach that far.

Glad we’re finally out of the waders, there such a cliche and in this case they are just in the way.”

If it weren’t for the Rogue Angels and Fly Fisher Girl I think I’d lose all faith.

Anyhow, seeing as the response we had in our last photo contest was incredible, I figured I’d announce a “Fly Gal of the Week” photo post.

Yep, this one’s just for fun but I figured it’s a nice break from the “shameless promotion” (for those out there who have forgotten that this is in fact a blog attached to a business website meant for exactly that….business….with a touch of spice and opinion.)

: )

So, if you’d like to have your photo posted next week and keep me from recycling my lunch, I invite you to email me your photos to april@flygal.ca

Did I mention I’m back in BC?!  Yeeoowww!  The Vedder is about to be menaced…..

Hope to see you on the water,

Ape.

I have mentioned Ms. Hannah Belford at times before in this blog of mine.  Hardcore, cool, smart and a good friend, listener and angler, she has created flyfishergirl.com for other serious women anglers to network and educate each other and themselves.

Unlike so many of the other whiney blogs and forums on the net, FlyFisherGirl is to the point with a review section, active forum, school/event updates and kick-ass photos.

Thanks Hannah for staying rugged and looking so damn good while doing so,

You’re an inspiration and breath of fresh air for all of us,

Ape.
