Rusty @ 6mos and fishun - Leaky33 - 05-02-2014 Yeah, I know.. Kind of a nothing post. Went to the Web. 4/30, Water flow up at 80 scfs and little muddy, Caught my typical trout ranging from 16-19 in., took some pics of Rusty but not the fish since they were the same old. same old. Only thing different - I've created a monster. All Rusty wants to do is swim in the river, especially where I'm fishing and chase my hook ups. I have to be pretty good at playing the fish to prevent tangles with him. All is good though!!! Used my standard prince nymph.

I have a golden retriever pup and she loves going fishing with me but won't get in the water for anything.

Since he loves to retrieve sticks, I tossed one in the shallows. He was still was very wary. So I tossed one in and waded out to it. He followed and retrieved. Guess it was me giving confidence. Then when I tossed sticks in and it was over his head, he did the "dog paddle" thing. (looked funny). Next, I put a vest on and tossed in water over his head. The vest did the trick. After a few tosses, I took the vest off and he swam like a seal. Now I can't keep him out!!!! [] You can do much the same thing in a res. or lake with waders or a float tube. Did this same thing with all my 3 previous goldens. [signature] Re: [Leaky33] Rusty @ 6mos and fishun - TyeDyeTwins - 05-03-2014 Looks like that pup is getting bigger!
