Flask Fishing

How Flask Fishing Was Invented

"I take these guys from Ohio trout fishing each year and when they snowmobile in, they like beer. I like Yukon Jack... as I was pulling in a trout my freshly topped up little pocket flask fell out of my inside pocket and did a perfect nose dive down the hole...

I shed a few tears and sat on the sled and pouted for an hour, had a few beer and then we decided we could fish the thing out of 10 ft. of water... we could see it resting ever so pleasantly on the bottom "bottoms-up"... so we fashioned a number of gadgets to retrieve it including the classic "plastic lunch bag on the stick trick"... but no luck with any of them, and we finally had to leave it there when the sun sank too low to see it anymore on the bottom.

So at the bottom of a hidden trout lake is a sunken treasure awaiting the lucky person to retrieve it and enjoy it's rewarding contents"
