<p> A Humble Christmas Fish Poem 2013</p>
<p></p>
<p> Come gather around my fire and a tale I will tell,</p>
<p> Listen real close because I don't want to yell,</p>
<p> T'was the night before Christmas, and the roof was a clatter,</p>
<p> Santa and his Reindeer had landed, that's what was a matter.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> He said " I know you have been extra good this year,</p>
<p> so I brought you a new fly rod that catches only the biggest red ears "</p>
<p> Hop in my sleigh and we will go give it a test,</p>
<p> He said I've got some new flies right here in my vest.</p>
<p></p>
<p> So I jumped in his sleigh and in the blink of an eye,</p>
<p> we had flown cross country, just Santa and I.</p>
<p> We landed on the water , and it was a thrill.</p>
<p> I recognize this place, " Hey ! this is Richmond Mill."</p>
<p></p>
<p> We were filling the sleigh, and I was impressed with the deed,</p>
<p> Then all of a sudden Santa said, " Let's save some for seed".</p>
<p> I told Santa in the Carolinas there are a couple of places more</p>
<p> that hold lots of fish, if we can just get through the door,</p>
<p> The freezers at Jefferys' and David"s are always full of fish.</p>
<p> Santa said , " We will be there in a flash and I'll give you your wish".</p>
<p></p>
<p> Just cast at the roof and down the chimney the line will go,</p>
<p> straight to the freezer because Santa says so,</p>
<p> You will hook all the bluegill and leave all the bass,</p>
<p> and we will head to the next roof , so get ready for your next cast.</p>
<p></p>
<p> Leo in California always has a freezer with fillets that are thick,</p>
<p> The only problem with them is that they taste like lipstick.</p>
<p> He tries to tell us he catches them as big as a dish,</p>
<p> but we know the truth, his wife catches all the fish.</p>
<p></p>
<p> Santa asks, " Where else can we fish, that's the question I 'll ask ya ? "</p>
<p> Since we are not done yet , well, I 'll tell you , " Nebraska ".</p>
<p> So we swept in like a hard driving rain</p>
<p> and we scooped up most of the " Condello Strain "</p>
<p></p>
<p> Before we have a fish fry, although this seems like a vacation,</p>
<p> We need to stop by Oklahoma, and pick up one of Greg's portable fish cleaning stations.</p>
<p> Riding in the sleigh , I never got cold;</p>
<p> I thanked Santa immensely for my new crimson pole.</p>
<p></p>
<p> Santa said, " Let's cook these fish up and get them in my belly,</p>
<p> most people thing wrong, it's not made of jelly.</p>
<p> And I'll tell you a secret, you might not think it's true,</p>
<p> keep this under your hat, Reindeer like bluegill too."</p>
<p></p>
<p> As Santa flew off , in my life, I never had such a thrill,</p>
<p> I noticed on his bumper , it said, " Licensed to Gill".</p>
<p> The events of this night had been such a surprise,</p>
<p> MERRY CHRISTMAS to All from Lord of the Fly ,Rods</p>

<p> I'll tell you tonight ,because tomorrow I'll be busy</p>
<p> with my sleigh full of crickets , it will be such a tissy</p>
<p> </p>
<p> I named the bluegill pulling my sleigh,</p>
<p> On Bruce, on Greg, on Sharon and Jen, on Dan and Zack , thats most of them</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Finally, the last one pulling my sleigh,</p>
<p> It's the Spirit of Boogieman, Leading the way</p>

<p> I'll fill up my cooler for a big Christmas Feast,</p>
<p> It will be fit for a King , I say at the least,</p>

<p> Bluegill being poached from Richman Mill shouldn't be a " Surprise'</p>

<p><font size="3">I guess by now you are wondering what my defination of " Free Range " is all about . To me it is the sporting chase of free roaming wild fish in a natural enviroment, that have the ability to escape being caught . They are wild fish that have not been raised or Aquacultured. Its far more satisfying knowing that you caught those large fish in the wild rather than them just answering a dinner bell, these are my true trophy fish.</font></p>

<p><font size="3">This also leads to respect for your quarry because you want to encourage their success in the wild to perpetuate the sport. When offered the opportunity to shoot a bear tied to a tree, Teddy Roosevelt knew it was wrong and unsporting and did'nt do it. He gave us a fine example of good sportsmanship and respect for our prey. If you ever wonder if what you are doing is wrong just ask yourself WWTRD- WHAT WOULD TEDDY ROOSEVELT DO.</font></p>Another close up Mr De Milltag:bigbluegill.ning.com,2009-06-15:2036984:BlogPost:415352009-06-15T02:54:32.000ZLord of the Fly , Rodshttps://bigbluegill.ning.com/profile/LordoftheFlyRods

First let me say that the weather patterns this spring has got all my fishing water messed up, work has got me so tied down I feel like a sled dog,everybody I know is graduating from some kind of school,and want you to attend,I feel like I have no free time that is not spoken for, and I'm ready for bed, bream bed, that is the only thing I think that can reduce the stress in my life . The backyard will be dry enought to pull the boat up front and get it ready, I've cleaned my rods and tackle , I'm ready. If the sporting good stores closed there doors tomorrow, I feel like I have enought tackle to last me the rest of my life . My Uncle died 15 years ago, he loved to fish and this wednesday I inherited his fishing tackle which has been in storage for 15 years. It consisted of the history of fishing for the previous 60 years in 4 large tackle boxes. Some of the lures will never see water again,It's quite a treat to see how fishing has evolved in the last 80 years,so now I think it's my job to keep everything fish ready and organized. I guess it just my OCD, and one day someone will say WOW look what I just got I wish I had time to go fish.
