My sex life has greatly improved, because, at least once a month, my wife duct tapes me to the refrigerator and puts on "Trout Ball."   ----  Lothar

I was fishing the Roaring Fork last week with an experienced guide when he hooked a very large fish. The current was high because of spring runoff and the fish ended up downstream very quickly making it much more difficult to land. Imagine our surprise when the fish turned out to be a cowboy boot! Apparently the dynamics of the high water and the design of the cowboy boat were enough to give it a natural fishy action. Very embarrassing for the guide who probably should have felt the difference. ----  Barney

Aren't trout supposed to be afraid of us? I went fly fishing on the Green for the first time last week. This is a very weird scene because the fish have been humanized. By that I mean they don't spook when boats float by. At the end of the trip we heard an amazing story at the boat ramp. A guide was netting a small trout for his client when a monster brown tried to eat it.  The guide tried to net the monster but it wouldn't fit in the net and got away. Then it came back and ate the small trout again! This is not normal fish behavior. Is there such a thing as trout psychoanalysis?  --- Herman

Thanks for all of the laughter and fun that your TROUTBALL cd has brought to our clients. Everyone loves it. One of our clients brought it on a fishing trip to Pyramid Lake. He waited until after dinner to play it for everyone. After the trip he came back and bought 4 more copies for his friends. The cd certainly helps make the long ride to a fishing location more fun. It also seems to get people in a great mood for a relaxing trip. Thanks again !

Hey Troutball Heads,
I'm quitting my job to follow the Keeler tour this summer. When does the U.S. tour begin? I want to sell Trout-dye T-shirts and smoke Trashfish and just do my own thing, man! Has anyone ever O.D.ed on WD-40? I'm going to live in my Duct Tape tent and raise my two kids (Wooly Bugger and Bitch Creek) to appreciate the perfect Butt-hooked Sucker presentation! Thanks for putting Troutball on the Web, now the world can experience the inner peace I've achieved through Wacky, Zany Fishing songs!             Peace, Gil the Groove Finn
