Story Submitted to the Editors of INWEED MAGAZINE

I was honored recently when I was asked to submit an artical on taking weeds on a Fly Rod. Setting out on my task I arrived at a secret location where LARGE WEEDS were known to inhabit. Upon arrival I immediatly saw them surfacing in the shallows. They were taunting me.
With floating line, poppers, and small nymphs I carefully approached my target. Poppers were left untouched, but after I put on a small weighted nymph, things started to happen. But the Weeds taken were small. Not what I was looking for

I switched to a sinking line and heavily weighted nymphs. A few takers but not what I was looking for. Tying on a heavily weighted ELECTRIC CHICKEN, I started getting into some larger WEEDS. All were nice in size but not what I was looking for, I wanted those huge rod bending Weeds that were inhabiting the depths of the pond.

One last cast when I felt the take, setting the hook and my heart stood still. Here at last what I had been searching for, it felt big and it felt heavy I fought hard against the pull of the monster. It finally gave up, surfaced and the disappointment set in. Wrapped up in the small weed was a small BGMD. Foiled and Fooled again!!!!!

Large weeds are out there lurking, waiting for you offerings. My quest is not over, I will be back!!!!! Weeds can be taken on the LONG ROD. It takes patience and determination. So bring out that fly rod, change you flies until you find what they are looking for. Somewhere out there is the WEED you are looking for. Don't give up, I never will!!!!!!!!!

Comment by Bruce Condello on October 13, 2010 at 6:14pm: I think we'll need to explore some of the ethical implications of that catch!
