Also, the famed Trout Mobile has finally been retired. Okay, now that I hear your collective gasps from around the globe, I'm glad we have that little news item out of the way. Having owned it for 10 years, I was a bit sad to see it go but the time had definitely come for some new wheels. The old car took me many places that a stock jeep would have been scared to go (almost anyway). At least in the short term, the new ride will be treated with utmost respect, unlike the old Trout Mobile as seen below overlooking the junction between the Gunnison and the North Fork of the Gunnison...
Tomorrow, I'm taking the new Trout Seeker on its maiden fishing trip. Details to follow...
I'm glad I'm not the only trout bum that prefers a car.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your new ride.
Thanks Brk Trt!!! The car always seems a bit more economical to me although when I graduate to owning a drift boat or raft I"ll have to find a truck probably...
DeleteI wouldn't know what to do with a fishing car. Although my first one was a Firebird. Four-wheeling never did work out well.
ReplyDeleteHoward, I don't know what to do with them either, but I have discovered plenty of things NOT to do...
DeleteNew car rule #1. Take it out and run it through the bushes. That way you get the crying over right at the beginning. Looking forward to a picture of the "Trout Seeker".
ReplyDeleteMark, this is actually one of the best suggestions I've had yet...although I am still debating whether I'll actually do it...

ReplyDeleteI always pictured you as a pickup guy, but nothing wrong with a car to get you to your fishing spots. Looking forward to future post
Bill, I would love to have a truck but they are just a bit too expensive for me at this point. Some day...
