Only the Bold Fish in the Cold and the Rain and the Wind and the Snow

Wichita fly fishers spend a lot of time in the Big Slough Creek during the winter. Dr. Howard warns of the dangers in this song. More fishing songs at http://www.cantos.org/fishing

Only the bold fish in the cold
and the rain, and the wind, and the snow.

Socks and sweaters and gloves and caps and
long handled underwear and wraps,
chest waders, coat, pants, belt, and the rest.
There's hardly room for your net, rod, or vest!

The rain comes down and the water comes up, and
The channels and the holes are shifting sand.
You can wade through the ice and the mud where you sink
but the water is deeper than you think.

Did you know that after a rain
there are holes in the creek that are six feet deep?
Don't wade alone in the Big Slough Creek
You may never be seen again.

In the winter it is dark in the morning and
dark in the day and the afternoon
Don't stay late, for when the sun goes down
you could slip and fall and drown.
