I miss tossing a tight line out and kicking back with a buddy. A few years ago, a buddy and I took a float down the John Day river here in Oregon to target smallmouth bass on the fly. We had probably $1500 worth of fly rods in the boat. I also brought an old Daiwa 5 ft spin rod and we ended up having the most fun on that thing slaying big channel cats on leftover chicken apple sausage while sitting around camp.
