Tip O' the hat to WIllierower

[RvW]

I dont know if I would call him my buddy or not, because he doesnt even have my phone number! (Im not sure I know it either) So Ill just call him a dude I know. Willierower of Ifish fame. AKA "shut up and fish" AKA, "carpeater"

This Willierower guy is one heck of a fisherman, and a guy anyone would call a good friend. Well, it seems one of Willierowers conscious dreams has come true...Off to Alaska to guide silvers in September You deserve it buddy...err I mean "dude I know"

So anyway, thanks to Ifish I met this willierower fella a few very long years ago, and have to say thanks publicly for everything youve done for me, and with me Paul. I could probobly give at least a dozen examples of "if it wasnt for IFish I wouldnt be where I am right now" My friend willierower is a great example.
Paul, thanks brother! I hope you have the time of your life up there in Alaska gettin paid to do what you love to do!
Any guest on a boat you captain will no doubt get a taste of what its like to be in the presence of a true fish killer, but they will see first hand what it is to be in perfect tune with the water.

Go get 'em!




Heavy fish may cause a hernia. A hernia may cause a grin like this. Its best to avoid a camera if you have the fish hernia grins.

I just met Paul the other day, but I'd have to say he shore seems like a decently indecent fella and someone i'd fish with anytime.

Sorry I wasnt more socialable today when you stopped by. But something about laying on your back on hot asphalt underneath a hot truck trying to figure out what drive train component is broke doesnt make a guy too friendly.... Figured out the locker went bye bye...... Now at least $500.00 is going to go bye bye from my wallet to get it fixed....

Anyways........ Thanks! And I hate that picture....

Whats all the fuss about, Paul like most of us Ifishers, just loves to fish and is willing to share his knowledge with all of us. That is with most of us as he has stood me up a couple times to fish Green Peter. He lets work get in the way and I don't buy that as a good reason to miss a planned fishing trip.

OKAY Paul, you still owe me a trip and I think I will make let you make it up to me and let me fish free in Alaska.

Good luck up there and I'll get with you in the fall and maybe we can hit the Rogue for a couple days.

Dont worry I will stay all summer next season. This job is just to take a guides place who is going Moose hunting. I may stay through the hunting seasons if they need me to. Next year I will be gone from June 1st all way through September. The place Im working at has a fleet of small sleds and 3 or 4 airplanes.

When I get back next year Im buying another boat and Im gonna try to guide down here. I will probally starve.........
