Bent Rods and Tight Lines
My girlfriend and favorite fishing partner, Erin Brasfield, has made numerous appearances in Bent Rods and Tight Lines. After two years of dating, including almost an entire year of living together, I decided it was time to stoop down on bended knee and propose marriage. .
Fishing the Carson River
Every fisherman will tell you that they have a special trick that works for them. We got up early this morning and met Johnson Lane resident David Small just north of Broken Dam to do a little fishing. David says his trick is a 4-pound test line with a Panther Martin lure that has a gold flasher. He worked with my daughter Jenee and showed her how to cast out and then immediately start reeling the lure back in. If you cast upstream, you reel in kind of fast. If you cast downstream you let the river provide the action and you reel in slower. What a wonderful fishing trip this was. My daughter caught and released three fish. I lost count after David caught and released 15. All the fish they caught were much too little for dinner.
We were fishing with several other fishermen today.
