<p>Lord of The Fly, Rods I think you may have hit the nail on the head. I'm feeling better already. Raising those Aluminum cans mouth high really helps when you have this painfull affiction. And Jen I know why you are sleeping out under the stars, yep to much pain killer. I've overdosed before too and have not made it back into the house. We do what we have to so we can just go about our daily duties until we can once again feel that tug on the end of that line and find peace and a oneness with…</p>

<p>Not funny. I am still having rehab from fishing my last competition. I pushed it way too far and upon returning to fish a derby, I carried too much gear around the pond during the derby to setup. I felt my elbow (back forearm) really tight and had flares of pain - but thought it was just fatigue from our week of practice and some techniques I usually don't fish around home.</p>

<p>So I thought- feel the burn, this is making muscle - </p>
<p>Well, it was finishing tearing tendon and I got to a point where that elbow could barely lift a can of soda. I have been doing exercise and rehab all winter and it is just now starting to feel together -but I might still get the MRI and see what the damage is because it is barely better.</p>
<p>I should have known when we unloaded the truck and on the first day moved 1.2 tons of bait (moved it the bait several times so I added the weight)... I should have known it would be a long week.</p>
<p>Add overworking - fishing more hours on the long pole than I ever have in a week and add Hungarian bait methods to a fall and cut wrists and the derby trip was the cherry on top.</p>
<p>Fishing is a sport- I'll have to do some time lapse photography this Summer and put it together in a video... hopefully my arm is good by then.</p> Like Chris, the blues really…tag:bigbluegill.ning.com,2012-02-27:2036984:Comment:2448972012-02-27T02:50:15.023ZSteve Crowderhttps://bigbluegill.ning.com/profile/SteveCrowder
<p>Like Chris, the blues really set in when I have not been fishing in a while (such as now). I'm really getting jittery sitting around just tying flies all the time. Granted, tying flies and experimenting with new flies is fun, it does not replace the feel of a good bluegill bending your fly rod. Hopefully work will let up in a week or two, the wind will die down and I can go fishing! </p>

<p>for fly fishing fever, I usually require at least one hour per day of fly tying, for a period of several months, especially in cold weather.</p>
