Get Baked and Go Fishing

Any fishermen out there? I think fishing and weed go well together. When I'm stoned and fishing it seems to help me to focus and think like a fish. I'd love to hear your stoned fishing experiences. Here's a nice trout I caught the other day.

Well, I don’t fish myself however, I do have a friend that is a fishing maniac…but he doesn’t blaze up, he drinks scotch. Sure glad he doesn’t hunt. My dad took me fishing a few times when I was a kid. I can see why getting baked would be fun. Too much standing around waiting for me…..would much rather be hiking and exploring. Bet throwing a small rod in a backpack and hiking to a remote stream would be fun….then burn one. Yeah, I could go for that!! :biglaugh:

I haven't had the chance to fish in the salt yet. My family is getting a beach house this summer and I'm looking forward to trying out some surf casting.

I definitely like the hiking and exploring aspect of fishing. Getting away from civilization and communing with nature is fun and relaxing.

I'm almost always completely sober though... there's no way I could be wasted and carefully wade slippery rocks for my quarry... Besides.... I think that sometimes sobriety is more interesting and/or fun than being stoned..

I always choose to experience things like Roller coasters and trout fishing sober.


Getting stoned is great when you are bored or stuck indoors during a rainy day, but I don't live to be stoned or wasted- I live to live

Beautiful Brookie. I'm lucky to live near several nice trout streams, mostly stocked with Browns and Bows. Gotta go a little further into the mountains to find the wild ones.

I guess getting stoned has a different affect on me. After smoking I get super into it and it seems to help me get that perfect drift. I'm sure I don't smoke nearly as much as some folks and I don't drink while I'm fishing. There's no way I could wade around after a few shots. I would surely fall in.

Nothing like a good puff and a lazy river with fat stupid trout.

Started fly rodding about 20 years ago and haven't touched spinning gear since. I'd guess that I've caught around 15 or so species on the long rod.

I'm actually a professional fly fisherman as I get paid to guide clients. Was big into it years ago and did 50 or so trips a year but have backed off and now do just enough to keep my endorsements and guide deals on gear.
Patience is definitely a virtue when dealing with the public and a puff or two goes a long way when dealing with someone that just doesn't get it.

Do you get a chance to fish much when you're guiding, or do you just point out the good holes and pull their flies out of trees?

Most fly guides don't fish with clients. Our theory on that is, how can we help you catch fish, when we are busy fishing.

Pretty much just rowing the drifter, tying on flies and coaching proper presentation. Plus I tell jokes on the odd days when its slow.

Thats probably a pretty nice native brookie! I'd love to be able to catch natives, around here we have stocker bows, brooks and wild browns.

There are two kinds of fly fishermen.
Those that have fallen in the river.
And those that will fall in the river.

up at my cabin there is some of the most unreal fishing on this planet.. there is this huge swampy area, a small river feeds into it then exits out the other side. the place is littered with beaver ponds creating nice 100ftx100ft ish little ponds of water. the mosquitos there are nearly unbearable, but in 4 hours before, between 4 of us we must have pulled out 300+ small rainbow trout, bull trout, and rocky mountain whitefish (catch and release of course).. you have to venture really far off the beaten path to hit spots like this though, all the holes near the town are fished the fuck out :(

Puffing keeps the bugs at bay. That doesn't always work perfectly, I remember they tried to carry me off in Bala one night. The booze help fight off the poison overdose the following morning. Reefer, Stones & Fishing that's what life is all about. I use the hardware & love trolling, down rigging or just firring a Len Thompson spoon or a Mepps Muskie Killer out of my 250 calcutta. You don't want to fish to close to my boat unless you're invited ;)

LMAO... well, the little brookies in the headwaters around here don't get big at all... most are 4-5 inches long... a 10-12 incher is a trophy


But what they lack in size they completely make up with their bright colorations.

And even the smallest ones fight really hard.


You can only catch these fellas way up in the headwaters that are usually only a few feet across... The fish spook real easily but they aren't that hard to catch if you can just get the bug in front of em without too many false casts (none) then they aren't hard to catch..

Often, you have to lie on the ground a few feet behind the hole and bow-&-arrow cast (its basically just a little flick) under the rhododenderons to pocket water..

I guess not gettin your fly hung up in the bushes is the hardest part.


Sometimes Im just in the mood for headwater brookie fishing.. more often than not though, I just fish a hatchery supported stream..

Western North Carolina has some really nice trout water if you're into fly- fishing.
