Willy's Ultimate Rod Assortment post got me thinking about what
I'd REALLY like for Christmas. OK, so the WAFF list isn't Santa
Claus, but maybe if I wish really hard, some of these will actually
come true!
1. Casting lessons. I'm not bad, but I could certainly be better. Bet I could benefit from a couple hours with a pro.
2. Saltwater experience. Think I'm finally ready to expand my horizons and give Puget Sound SRCs and salmon a try. A week chasing bonefish in the Seychelles would be even better.
3. A bamboo rod. A little number about 7 or 8 feet in a 3 or 4 weight and under $750 would be perfect.
4. Patience. I'm unusually calm once I get out on the water - it's the times in between that can really be trying.
5. A more understanding spouse. She's simply not buying my tired argument that time spent fishing makes me a better person.
6. Wisdom. At this rate, about the time I finally get it, I'll be dead.
7. Time. Speaking of which, there's simply not enough of it.
8. A mermaid. I'd love to catch one. I'll release her, honest!
Happy holidays and may all your wishes come true,
Kent Lufkin
