Fly Fishing by Cal
---oooOOOooo--- “Catch anything Heyes?”“Darn Chill is all…”“Hah! Thought you said you’d be good at this.” “I thought I would be. Proper fishing, I can do …I never tried to fish with a fly before …Whoever thought of this must be twisted. Fishing’s meant to be relaxing, quiet …give a man time to think …. not flick, flick, flick… takes all the fun out of doing nothing…”“It’s fun when you get to reel in a big one. They really put up a fight.”“Hah! I thought you were gonna give up pulling …and just shoot the darn thing!”“That wouldn’t have been very sporting now would it. They call this a sport. I wish Angus would stop calling us gillies! I don’t even know what one of them is. These folks know more about fly fishing than we do anyway. I think we’re just here to make sure they don’t go getting themselves lost. Keep them safe from outlaws.”“Stop asking him about the rivers …in England then …he told you he’s from ‘Scotchland’ …and a gillie’s just someone to carry the fish back to that fancy Hotel for them. Shooting tomorrow. That’s more our bag.”“Our bag? …Heyes, we’ve spent too much time round these British tourists. We’re beginning to sound like them!”“If you ever see me starting to look like them …wearing them plus four pants …shoot me.”“Yeah …or one of them flapping hats…. What is a Ma Quis anyway? I keep thinking they’re saying Ma Kriss …remember her …she used to chase us with a rolling pin!”“Well Ma Quis, is someone who pays us $30 a day to stop him getting lost or attacked by outlaws, while he tries killin’ things, in really weird ways, and calls it sport.”“Well …any idea what beatin’ is? ‘Cause he says we’ll be beatin’ tomorrow …and drivin’ onto the guns …whatever that is…”“Its somethin’ he’s willin’ to pay us $30 a day, apiece fer Kid…”“OK Heyes …but I think we should try and find out some more from that Watkins fella, before tomorrow …don’t sound right, us being behind whatever it is he wants drivin’ onto guns. We don’t know if any of these Brits can even shoot straight. Or what they gonna be shooting at …or with.”“The Guvnor’s just asked us to keep his party happy and safe till they go home. Gotta admit Kid, it ain’t hard on the back, and the food a great improvement on beans and jerky... ““Well I ain’t eatin anything called ‘spotted dick’ …no matter how much of that …custard …they put on it!”“Never thought I’d see the day you’d turn down food Kid. Think you got a case of sour grapes there.”“A case of what? Is that like that wine they made us drink? …Hey Heyes, what do you think our friend Ma Quis would say …if he knew who the Guvnor had sent to keep him safe from outlaws.”“Yeah! Only he calls ‘em Road agents …or Highwaymen …”“Road agents …sounds almost respectable, Heyes …like a Bannerman agent….”JONES!“I wish he wouldn’t just shout ‘Jones’ like that, the man has no manners at all. Who does he think he is?”“Someone …who’s willin’ to pay us $30 a day …”“Ha-ha … ok, ok.”“He can shout Smith at me all day long …Come on Kid… it’s not like they’re even our real names.”“Sure Heyes…. Well come on …the Ma Quis requires our presence… and I think …that’s a gun in his hands …not a rolling pin.”---oooOOOooo--- | |
