canadian_copper Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) MY FIRST STEELHEAD REPORT OF THE YR. USUALLY I WOULD OF HAD 60 OR 70 REPORTS BY NOW BUT HERES NUMBER 1 LOL THIS HAS BEEN MY SECOND TIME OUT SINCE NOV. ITS TAKEN MANY MANY YRS BUT I HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING. FISHING IS A GREAT SPORT/HOBBY. AND A HOBBY IT SHOULD STAY. FOR MANY YRS NOW FISHING HAS BEEN AN OBESSION FOR ME. TAKING UP 99% OF MY FREE TIME WHEN NOT WORKING. I HAVE A WONDERFUL KID AND A BEAUTIFUL WIFE AT HOME WHICH I NEVER SEEN. I HAVE MISSED OUT ON ALOT OF THINGS CAUSE I WOULD OF RATHER OF FISHED. NOT ANYMORE. MY WIFE AND SON MEAN THE WORLD TO ME AND I LOVE SPENDING GOOD FAMILY TIME WITH THEM NOW. SO YA ALL WILL STILL GET REPORTS JUST NOT EVERYDAY LOL SOMEONE SAID TO ME AWHILE AGO " THE FISH WILL ALWAYS BE HERE FOR YA. BUT YOUR FAMILY WONT " . I'LL STILL FISH BUT IM PUTTIN ALOT MORE TIME AND EFFORT INTO MY FAMILY NOW!!!! SO NOW ON WITH THE REPORT. ALOT OF WATERS FROZE UP AGAIN THE PAST FEW DAYS. HAD TO HUNT AROUND ABIT BUT FOUND SOME FISHABLE STRETCHES. WATERS ARE LOW AND VERY CLEAR. FAST RUNS WITH DEEP POCKETS WAS THE ONLY PLACE I COULD FIND FISH. I WENT FOR 4 FOR 5 WITH A NICE LITTLE BROWN ADDED IN AS A B-DAY GIFT TO ME.LOL LOTS OF SNOW TO MELT AND SHOULD REALLY BRING THE WATER TABLE UP THIS YR. HURRY UP WARMER WEATHER LOL TX ALL AND HOPE YA ENJOY THE PICS. NICE LITTLE BROWNIE Edited February 26, 2008 by CANADIAN_COPPER

Casey123 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Great report, thanks for sharing. Pictures are great
fish_finder Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Excellent report! Nice to see some soft water pics.
Tarzan's Jane Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 You are very selfless to see what truly does matter. Thankfully for you, your wife didn't give up. We all need "me time", and as long as there is a healthy balance, I believe all will remain well with everyone in the family. Thanks for sharing that.
canadian_copper Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Posted February 27, 2008 TX ALL. SORRY FOR THE DOUBLE POST. CAN AN ADMIN DELETE THAT FOR ME. TY
irishfield Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Now if Scott's wife would just take away his caps lock privileges life would be swell ! Some nice fish there fella.!
taper Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Nice report. Glad to hear from you again.
ccmtcanada Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Way to go Scott! Both on the fish and the life realization. You are right...fishing can be addictive and relationship destroying if taken to the extreme. It sounds like you are a much happier man...keeping a balance in life is what it's all about. That being said, I still want to fish with you in the spring...LOL.
spoonman Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Copper thought you fell off the earth. Nice going bud Cheers Al
danc Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Very touching post CC. I always wondered where you found all that time to go fishing. Thanks for putting it into perspective for the rest of us. And an excellent report. Great photos. Thanks for sharing..
johnnyb Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Happy wife, happy life -- way to go man And nice fish too!!
Gawel Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Nice pictures. Good advice in your post. Sometimes guilty of it myself too.
TroutnMuskieHunter Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Great report....I think we're all a bit guilty when it comes to priorities and fishing!! I'm headin' up North for trout on Friday with a bunch of lads I haven't seen for years!! It was my wife that kept insisting that I go and have some fun with old friends....I plan on coming home early Sunday instead of Monday to surprise her (it's her B'day) and pamper her for the day!!!
Marko Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 I thought something had happened to you since i havent seeen any posts from you this winter. I remember last year every 2 days there would be a report written in caps and knew it was you. Good to see you are still alive and still catching fish and being a father and a husband at the same time. Nice fish by the way.
Douger Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) nice report scott! i have an 8 month old and missed the fall season entirely, but i have no regrets b/c i was doing what had to be done. family first!! you have to make deposits into the relationship account before you can withdraw, and if the balance is zero... take care, and keep up the great work. Edited February 27, 2008 by Douger
blaque Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Youve carved a niche with your CAPS LOCK lol.....so i remember alot of your posts as well, from here and other boards. And seem to remember a "lil C" in alot of them. You can have your cake and eat it too. Nothing wrong with takin the fam along with you to share in what your passionate about. Get a chromer on the end of that float rod for the wifey and she should be in for good too. Although it might put you in the poor house tryin to equip all 3 with steelhead gear lol.
