2008. What did you lose while fishing

[fflutterffly]

Once again we have the misfortune of telling the truth about the river. It usually takes things like fly boxes, sometimes rods, and in last years column I lost: 2 walking staffs and my beloved Pentax Optio W30. At least it's water proof. so if anyone finds it the thing will still be useful.
Resolutions for 2009:
Save up for a new camera
make sure all my equipment hooks actually work!
Go fishing with more of my friends from the forum.

every year my wife says I lost my mind

Ariel, the oly thing I lost this year was my nymph cf fly box on the kern. I still need to address all my boxs. Really sad to hear about your pentax.
Resolutions for 2009
Improve my tying
Take a out of state fly fishing trip
Make more fly fishing buddies
Take the time off and do the golden opener with the gang

Ariel,
FYI, I use a zinger even on my Optio! Bob can vouch for that one on this hilarious video I shot helping him net a fish...I forgot all about the camera and it was just dangling around dipping into the water...

I broke a rod this year...

I lost a large Orvis fly box full of flies for salmon fishing.

I lost some friends and found some new ones.

My $110 dollar pair of sunglasses, after making fun of Zee for losing his while fishing. Must have had something to do with Karma.

Lost a few items poorly attached to the vest and one very full fly box. However, the last year will end with the gains highly out weighing the losses. Fly fishing brought new friends, new knowledge, and a whole bunch of great memories. Looking forward to the upcoming new year.

2 pairs of Hemostats. 1 net. God only knows how many flies.

Was it worth it: You betcha!

Lost the best nymph box ever created on the Kings River on January 19
I was hooked up with some of the coolest flies tyed by some very generous fly tyers on the Kern board shortly after, thank you

Yeah, I've still not located that box Benny. Everytime I am out there, well almost, I think about there being a gold mine of a nymph box hidden in the willows, somehow having escaped the high water flows of summer.

Yup, whom ever found that box sure hit the jackpot
I really do hope if someone found them they did put them to good use

In reality, it is most likely stuck in the mud near Troutinator's house in Lemoore.
