Those rubber Frabills are niiiice. I'll keep an eye out. Might even give it back.

Good luck.

damn that sucks......

Bummer on both counts...

Thanks guys!! Was thinking as soon as I get some range of motion back I'm gonna head down to rain rock with my dry suit and snorkel... Recon mission, operation frabill

Well if home brewed beer is the reward, that's almost motivation to try snagging it lol.

That's crappy. How the eff did you dislocate your shoulder?! Bet that made for an interesting rest of the float. Crappy time of year for a shoulder injury. Hope that heals up quickly with no residual issues.

I was going down the North Santiam in the spring once and saw something that I thought was a net in the middle of a run about 5 or 6 down. So I strip down, walk up the bank a bit dive in (COLD) and start swimming. Missed the damn thing on the first first dive down and had to go further up the bank. Got it on the second pass: A broken child's size canoe paddle, I was so pissed lol. My buddy told me I was crazy before I hit the water, I should have listened. I was cold the rest of the day but I got the damned thing hahah...

So your shoulder, dislocate lifting the fish or just one of those random shoulder injuries? A buddy tore his rotater lifting an empty guitar case... Plagued him for years.

that would be a funny until OSP rolled up....."um, im just trying to snag my net...."

That suck all the way around. Good luck.

GZ that story is hilarious, also a bummer.. I love your commitment!! So my shoulder has been an issue since i was 21...I jacked it up when i was really into whitewater kayaking on a stout canyon/gorge run down in Cali.. 8 years later i have had the thing completely rebuilt and am waiting to have it rebuilt again : ( But i like to keep the cup half full so here are the pro's for the day.. We were only one riffle down from the put in so dad was able to rope the boat back up to the put in avoiding a very uncomfortable float. Dad still was able to manage a fish for the day in the short time we were on the water which kept the day from being a total skunk ; ) And all of this happened while my wife was in school ; ) lmao!! anyhow i truly appreciate all of the concerns and responses! Jeanna its mighty fine home brew too, only a few things in life im good at lol.. Dislocating my shoulder, fishing and brewing beer! lol cheers, Bob
