First off this post has no redeeming value as far as fishing info or info on the deepest, darkest political desires of Maria Cantwell as they might effect us as sporstmen. Of course, I'm looking for a broad and accurate if not politically, demographically, and ethnically correct answer of what hooch everyone likes to consume (RESPONSIBLY OF COURSE) whilst in the pursuit of the anadromous fish of our region. With the weather turing a wee nippy, a wee shot of Jameson or Crown sneaks into my thermos cup now and again (much to my wife's chagrin). However, some of my fishing partners tend towards the more basic swill (if only BUCKHORN was still in production Pacific County residents would be a happy lot) and we argue about the most appropriate fishing booze (ONCE AGAIN I STRESS RESPONSIBILITY...although,so does Anhauser Busch). Actually there isn't much else to do here but fish, argue about booze and go crowd in with the hordes on the Peninsula.
But anyhow, if you have an opinion on the matter......(other than Pepsi, Coke or no spirits "they don't belong on the river" etc...) I'd like to hear it. Kind of a change up subject from politics, what's happening where, and *****ing about nets.

What's the deal? Have you given up the Shirley Temples that you used to guzzle in Pullman? Or were those Harvey Wallbangers?

Back in the sixtys it was Pomerelle Island Loganberry Wine, plain and simple it was for the buzz.
How ever now days it is Grand Marnier in a very small flask and only rarely. The excesses of youth have faded like the sun, except that angling is still the reason for it all. Seems a bit shallow but I guess I'm not destined to be a deep person. Hard to breath where the waters deep!

Hey Chuck,I'll be packin the Crown,when we hook up,soon I hope take care ...Os

Gotta be blackberry brandy, stuff is good to the last drop and has the warming abilities needed for those cold winter days.

Nothing like a wee snort o' Hennessee to warm your insides when the bottom drops out of the thermometer. Must be carried in a silver flask, on the inside left jacket pocket, to be socially acceptable.

Chuck,

Wild Turkey!

Sometimes, a little extra slides into my coffee and I end up feeling that much warmer. Typically try to stay away from it if there is any hazards that could get in the way but it sure makes that ham sandwich taste good.

Jameson

Paul

Me and my buds each carry a pint sized flask filled to the rim with R&R. Thats Rich and Rare Canadian Whiskey. Goes down smooth and warms all the way down. It's the only booze we'll drink!!!!

Maker's Mark from a tiny flask...

It's baileys and coffee in the morning and bud in the after noon.The whiskey comes out
in the evening.Most likely crown or LTD.
Good luck, STRIKE ZONE

I think I need to go fishing with you STRIKE ZONE!!you got the right idea, but who would drive?

Jaegermeister. When "walking" the banks of the Sauk River Steelhead Ranch the rule is a shot a fish. If you lose the fish you have to take two and if it's over 20 lbs. you have to take six shots. Keep the fifth in the river to keep it cold.

Justin

CROWN AND COKE!!!! Nothing like fighting fish falling all over the boat. Or running a 18'Koffler 6'wide and a 150MERC three sheets to the wind, it makes those shallow and narrow riffles look deep and wide...
Keith

------------------I agree with Sedy you just can't fish a whole day without the chew can. Kodiak is my second best friend to crown and coke!!!!!!!!

of the others that did. Good luck

Since im not "of age" Its always a fresh Copenhagen in the lip, I dont know if i could fish a whole day without my snuff.

Ryan Sedy

The best I've had was some genuine Alabama Applejack (moonshine) a friend pulled out one nasty winter steelhead day.

Otherwise, Jamesons or Makers.

Jim Beam and Ice cold Coors!
