The secrets ain't to hard.  I am a federal employee and monday was a holiday.  For my salt water fishing I use an eagle claw 8 wt rod with no name reel that I bought on E-bay for 39.99.  I have 9 wt floating line that I got a K-mart for 9.99 and I tie my own flies so the expensive part is the hook.  In addition Chico creek is about 8 miles away from my house and I can take the long way home from work and go right by the creek.   On the weekdays that aren't holidays I go to work early and get off anywhere from noon to 3.  A quick call home to tell mama I'm going fishin' and I'm covered until dark.   Flig ----- Original Message ----- From: Willy Gevers To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Monday, November 12, 2001 9:35 PM Subject: RE: Report The flyfishing tip I really want to know is... how do you arrange your life to consistently flyfish on weekdays!!  As I am reading your post, it is 9:30PM and I am still slaving away in my office. Maybe some of the other list members would care to share the financial or life secrets to independence and freedom to fish at will!   -----Original Message----- From: David Fliger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 12, 2001 9:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Report   Fished Chico creek yet again today (Mon).  Started at 7 and had the whole place to myself.  When fish started to show (about 8) one other flyfisher was there.  He and I tried for about an hout to no avail.  During this time about 10 more fishers showed up.  About 930 the chums started to show up thick.  Unfortunately I snagged my first fish in the tail.  He was about 12 pounds and took me about 10 minutes to land.  He took me all the way to the backing, boy was I glad there were very few people there as no one had to get out of my way.   I fished to about noon and caught 2 more fish all big.  When I left there was only about 40 fishers and just starting to get crazy.  I had to snap 1 fish off due to a fellow fisher not wanting to stop fishing while I played my fish.  Next time I think I'll let him get tangled and take a swim, maybe he will learn some decency.   I saw about 500 fish go up the creek Flig
