The Devils Pride by west texas republic


TheDevilsPride from westexasrepublic on Vimeo.
A pretty cool video from a part of the country I am not very familiar with, but would love to get 
down and sample some time. The water, scenery and fishing look pretty nifty. Love the intimacy of the river at times, and the rapid you get to maneuver. A little longer that the average, maybe a two cups this morning.

Have you Ever Heard

Have you ever heard the old "Smith Bell" ring will floating and fishing the river?
It will always mean the onlookers are granting you good luck and hoisting a cold
frosty one to you.
The Old Smith Bell has travelled many miles to make its home on the banks of the Arkansas
River, where is now quite weathered and sun beaten from many years. Much like the editor.
So when floating and you hear the bell, give a hearty solute back.

Happy Labor Day
