Wyoming Flyfishing - Top Ten Excuses

AUGUST 1998
Top Ten Excuses Used By Fishing Guides When The Fishing Is Lousy

10. The river is too high/low this time of year
9. The water is too muddy/clear for optimal fishing
8. The water is too fast/slow for your ability level
7. The fish are catatonic today
6. There must have been a full moon last night
5. These trout have lockjaw
4. Too much fishing pressure has the trout running for their lives
3. The barometric pressure must be dropping
2. You're not holding your tongue right

And the number one (MIDI drum roll please) excuse used by fishing guides when the fishing is lousy...

1. You should have been here yesterday.

Of course, I have never used any of these excuses myself
