I will miss Roy, and especially fishing with Roy. I remember one time on the feather when we were fishing for salmon at the outlet, at Roy's secret fishing hole, and Roy said, "If anyone else shows up here today, this place won't be a secret anymore.."
We would go shad fishing at his secret shad fishing hole, and he would take his dog. We would both cast out, and then Roy's dog would go 'Ruff", and Roy would catch a fish. This happened over and over, 'Ruff'. Fish. 'Ruff'. Fish. I wasn't catching a thing. Then, the dog went "Ruff Ruff Ruff Ruff", so I asked Roy "what does that mean, bunch of fish?" Roy says "nope. That means he's hungry".
This dog was great. The two of them would sit on the shoreline, and sing this song that they both knew, and the dog would actually sing. You could hear the words! I think the dog sung better than Roy. No kidding there either.
One time we were fishing the secret shad hole, and he was just slaying them, I was getting nothing. So, I found this big rock, and threw it out in the water, so I could stand on it and cast farther than Roy. He named it "Doc's Rock". Pretty soon everyone knew about Doc's Rock at the secret fishing hole. He still caught more than me that day.
I will miss Roy
