After the initial shock of seeing one of my fellow fly fishermen tragically floating, I realized that my any other night activities would be curtailed. Surely, my Vogue female companions emotional state of mind were not in tune with my male needs. So the next best thing was to determine what type of reel this obvious man of taste chose to use for the fish in the D.R.C. Resort pool. Casually, I flipped over the floating body and determined, while gazing in the midnight light, that the reel was gorgeous Sage 3000 Series Click & Pawl. Not bad, not bad at all.

Now the next question was what to do with the girls from N.Y.C. --being a hardcore fly fishing junkie and knowing that those predators swimming in the pool needed to be taught a lesson or two, I persuaded the girls to amble back home to the Trout House and to make sure that they left room for me. The beds in the Trout House are notorious for being lumpy, noisy and overall not necessarily all that and a bag of chips.

My intuitive, current companions being the typical caring, deep and unselfish Vogue models, would remember my evening ritual. With no doubt my warm milk and cookies would be on the bedside chest, next to the bedside. Look, we all have our needs; my just include a little bit of nourishment before bedtime. Both lovely young ladies agreed and left me to my vice.

Not wanting to be too imposing, I quickly flipped this chap out of the pool and laid him next the pump room, and grabbed his fly box and rod. Hmm, not a bad choice of flies -- Al's Compara Duns in Sulphur colors, Shop Manager Jeff's prized emerger series, a couple of Jim Serio's oversized Sparrow spinner patterns, among other fly choices.

Instantly, I tied on the Serio Sparrow and rolled cast the fly onto the pool. Incredibly, the water erupted. I pulled back and yanked out a pan sized African Piranha (The Piranha belongs to the Tetra family for you fishery buffs lurking out there...)

The question is why is the D.R.C. Resort Pool stocked with these Piranhas? Is this a ploy of Al and the D.R.C. clan to keep out skinny dippers at night? What would P.E.T.A. think about this arrangement? This is similar to how caring house dwellers keep Pit bulls in the backyard for protection. My God, the Starlight, Pa. neighborhood is going downhill…

Al, inquiring minds like mine want answers, and want them soon.

Sincerely,

The Midnight Poacher.
 
This stuff is great. I think I'll make a page dedicated to the Midnight Poacher.
 
FYI,

I kept the guy's Sage reel and fly boxes. He can't use them now and besides, I need to refresh my supply. I have no shame, and besides he probably wanted that way anyhow...

MidnightPoacher -- keepin' it real, bro...

"Lying deep in every fisherman's soul is the dark side wanting to fish private waters that are posted with no tresspassing signs."

FYI

The D.R.C. swimming pool has been cleared of all African Piranhas. It looks like Jeff White and the clan have persuaded Al and Jerry to stock nearby Delaware Eels as safeguards against skinny dippers.

Midnight Poachers is not discouraged -- I love to catch and eat smoked eels and large poached Brownies from the Home Pool located within the confines of the Delaware River Club.

Sincerely,

BON APPÉTIT
