“New Owner: No Trespassing Except for Blondes” was the sign over one of my best holes on seldom-fished Secret River, and it was enough to quake my Reeboks. There must be a way to deal with this, I thought. And there was.
I drove
to Goodwill, and bought a blonde wig. I used balloons for breasts, and drove back.

On the
way, one of the balloons lost air so I had uneven
breasts. I hadn’t shaved in four days which probably didn’t help my
case. On the second cast, I caught a beautiful hatchery buck steelhead about 16 pounds pictured above. A few casts later, I caught his little brother. As I was carrying them up
the trail, an old gray codger appeared on a bluff. “Well, you ain’t the prettiest blonde I seen” he scoffed.
“But rules is rules.”

With two fish in the cooler, I drove to the Oregon coast to attend the Writing Lounge at Hoffman Center in Manzanita. Great people, and great sharing. I was invited to offer a writing prompt next week, Jan. 13, 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. during their Writing Lounge. There is a $5 suggested donation which helps the Hoffman Center and their literary/art journal North Coast Squid. Maybe I’ll see you there.
