had a molar extracted, oral surgeon said 'did anyone ever tell you, you have really long roots ?'
He used a hammer and small chisel eventually.
On the plus side, took 2 sick days, some good drugs for the pain, and went fishing. Everyone knows fishing is a natural analgesic.
It's still all tailwaters here in the early spring so fishing is marginal. The famous S. Platte has lots of fish in a pretty river but they are extremely hard to catch. A hatch gets the fish up and feeding, when no hatch it's dour..
Friend Greg got a nice 21" rainbow and lost one of the truly big ones, 26" I estimated.
First day fished SB 359 8.5' which is a 5wt and a terrific rod, with a new-to-me SB 1144 refurbished and switched to LHW. This is an excellent combination I find, enjoyed fishing it. One nice 18" brown, and broke off something in heavy current.
Second day fished a SB 323 which I refinished last year. Got this as a project rod from snorider on here, thank you. Somehow it took me a year to go trout fishing again, between work and family, so this was its first outing.
Orvis CFO III bought new in 1981, with the first new fly line I've bought in twenty years, Orvis Superfine 5wt.
I'm still getting the hang of this rod, so far oddly enough prefer the 359. Also tried it with a Cortland Sylk 6wt DT.
apologies for the blurry images, my camera phone no longer focuses right for some reason..
