Robbie Of The Haw

It was a hot sunny day on the haw river as many of us have enjoyed.  My Dad and Mike Sepelak were there with me on the haw river to cheer me on as I took up a Hobby that has now turned to obsession--fly fishing. The haw river probably isn't the most friendly place for a first wading trip but is still a beautiful place in its own way. We set off from the country road into the woods in the direction of the river.

I was having trouble before we got on the river. I just couldn't seem to keep the tip of my beloved 9ft 7weight A2 Scott's fly rod off the ground of the trail we were on. I am now much better at not stabbing the tip of my rod on the ground.

Imagine you are back in first grade and you are supposed to have a spelling test. You know that when you miss spell a word the teacher will say  "Good job!" even though you know it was wrong. That's how I felt with two very experienced anglers watched my every movement of my casts. Even when my Dad said "nice cast buddy" I know it meant I was doing alright for my experience level. If I made that kind of cast now it would have been "What did you do wrong try that again". Even though I could hear the sincere joy of my Father. I had and still feel like he has a better time watching me fish and having fun than I have fishing.

We got out onto the river and I was hooked just with my surroundings. I will never forget the first time I felt the cold tight squeeze of the water rushing around my waders. My dad tied on a stealth bomber that I had tied a couple of days ago. I waded a little down stream to where my father told me to head. There was a over hanging tree right over a nice deep hole on the left bank. I took a false cast then slung it right under the tree. I stripped........stripped...........stripped with nothing. Disappointed, I casted a couple of feet to the right of the spot of the first cast. I stripped........stripBAAAAM I got a strike. I yelled and ripped my rod up almost waking  the fishes dentist up.I stripped the line up pulled the fish in to take a look at my first bass on the fly. It wasn't a six pound beast but it was a prize to my eyes. I was ecstatic and my Dad was glad for me. 

Mike immediately casted in the spot i just pulled the Large Mouth out of. In the end of the day every one but me got skunked. This memory of mine may be similar to yours but all of our own first fish on the fly experience are stored and archived deep in our hearts. Until we catch a HUGE fish then the first fish seems less important. Just joking.

  1. Nice post. You're a good writer for being so young. Great part about feeling squeeze from the water on your waders. I need to get you and zvope up to some wild trout water. You want to talk about addicting experiences.

  2. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
