Is this a bird blasting site?

No, but I have been known to "cast and blast" as a number of others have stated.

There were fish swimming in the slough and if they were near enough I wudda sluiced them.

Ducks.. I play by Marquis de Sade rules..oh.. make that Queensbury. I didn't fire my first shot as a warning shot either. It was taken with deadly intent, guess just not deadly aim.

This might not be a hunting website, but it's not a barbeque and forks website either.

Rain, I see we got 3.38 inches yesterday up here in Seattle. That will sure fill a few of Andy's ponds. I thought we got a lot yesterday, maybe over an inch, but I didn't think it was over 3 inches. That's a lot!

Next time... no warning shots!

Z.L. are you giving up on fishing , Thats why you shoot inocent flying birds? Fish have the choice to take a fly or not to take a fly. A butt load of buck shot coming at a bird ,Now there is a choice . The bird must say Hey lets fly into the buck shotand end our lives.

One more thing , Micro Brew would you please pass the salt and pepper!

Innocent birds my arse! Wait until you step on a pheasant and drop your gun and a few other thing when it startles you. How about when your partner drops a goose and the goose maliciously falls on you, almost knocking you out? How about dropping a surf scoter only to have said scoter attempt a Kamikaze run on your partner's canoe, almost flipping it? These fowl were not innocent. Surely they could have chosen a different path, but noooooooooo, they didn't.

Ducks also have the opportunity to choose when and where they land. The right presentation of decoys is needed to attract ducks on a regular basis, just like fishing.

Jumpshooting, which is what we were doing, is a bit like sightcasting. You see 'em, but you don't always get 'em.

What about those poor innocent fish? What did they ever do to you?

I'm honing my skills incase I find a squealer.

The ducks talked, or at least I suspected them of talking....or they made fun of me.

TM... you ain't making fun of me are you? I also have cousins that play the banjo... you want to fish with guys who play banjos???

The ducks also offered up their feathers for my fly tying efforts.

I take it you don't tie flies and do the "yuppie" thing of buying those flies? Geez... anybody can buy flies, it takes some effort to tie flies. And some nerve to show off your first few efforts.

I love it when I get a rise out of you Zen Leecher
Now watch your blood pressure. I guess it boils down to the fact that I did not get to fish at all this season with the Master of the leech.
yuppie! far from it . Fly tying ! I try to tie.
And sometimes they work.

my fishing season sorta fizzled after my big BC trip. only went out 3 times after that.. well, two of those "times" were week long trips, both out of state, actually all three trips were out of state.

I never suspected TM was trying to bait me.... not for one moment.

I have a snipe in the freezer that is earmarked for tying "snipe and olive" soft hackles.
