Rob Johnson Walkin the Dog across the Border!!


You know I don't personally know Rob but he popped up on the "This is Fly" daily blog this week. He submitted a great story about his first trip to British Columbia to throw some flys and had some great pictures of the infamous Chum "DOG" Salmon. They are big nasty and ugly but when hooked pull like a monster truck in a mud bog at a weight pulling competition! Pure adrenaline! Over fished and under appreciated!!It sounded like a great father son trip more than anything! I just love his dad's ol' skool look of " YEAH NICE!! I AIN'T TOUCHIN THAT NASTY THANG!" Seeing a smile like that for a CHUM reminds me of why we even go out there. Marinate.....

I have met Rob a couple of times through a good friend of mine who helps out with This Is Fly magazine. Rob is a fine gentleman and a scholar. I was forwarded a picture of him hangin' with Doug E. Fresh that might add a little more insight to your post. Personally, I think he looks more excited holding up that chum with his pops than he does with Doug. Personally speaking, if you had a B.A.Y. award, he would most certainly get my vote. -stumpmt@hotmail.com let me know if you want the pic
