Deeter: "Fish Quixote" Story Intro Winner Announced
By Kirk Deeter
Thanks to all of you who submitted intros to the "Fish Quixote" epic. There are some literary Fly Talkers in the fold indeed.
I was immediately lured in by those of you who parodied the original Cervantes.
But there is only one winner, and that's based purely on an ageless rule of flattery...
Compliment a man on his fishing prowess and he'll likely see right through that. (It's kind of like the "Does my butt look big in these? question... an honest answer is ill-advised, and a fake answer is easily ignored).
But compliment a man on his hunting dog... and well, that's a winner every time.
So thanks to MLH who wrote:
"Along a fabled stream in Colorado, whose name I feign ignorance, there lives, this very day, one of those gentle anglers who keeps a bamboo in the rod rack, a vintage landing net, a slim steed, and a noble Vizsla."
By mentioning the "noble Vizsla," he showed his true colors as a close Fly Talk follower, and as such, will be richly rewarded with the Ross Pescador 6 pliers ($150)... hit me at editor@anglingtrade.com, MLH, and we'll hook you up.

MLH...I knew we had a winner the first time I read your entry. My oh my, but those pearly words just rolled of your tongue...congratulations bud.
Great job MLH.
How's the Hex this week?
Thanks, Kirk. That one was fun. I loved the drawing as well - would actually like to get a nice sized one to frame or a large file to use as a PC wallpaper. Perhaps as a prize for another contest?
buchkhunter - the Au Sable South Branch was flowing over 600 cfps on Friday night ... it's barely wadeable at 400, and is normally around 200. I heard people were out there in boats and on the banks and that the Hex and fish were very active, but I thought better of wading that much water in the dark so didn't go.
I'll camp up there this weekend instead. Water is back down. No epic hatches but perhaps there will be some stragglers. More relaxing fishing for sure (and more typical) unless I hit a good Iso hatch at dusk (trout just lose it). The whippoorwills will keep me awake all night so it will be a sleepy drive home. You need to get up here next year. Kirk and Tim, too!
And thanks for the kind words countitandone and buckhunter.
MLH,
My 4 buddies have been on the Ausable all week. I spoke to them today and they said the water was high. They've caught a number of 12-15 inch fish but no biggens.
when did this contest come about? congrats MLH.
MLH Good on ya! Now I want to hear the rest of the tale.
Congrats MLH!
Ecellent choice on the winner!Deeter.Congrats MLH!!
Congrats, lets do another one!!!!
