Roaring River Ritual
March 1, 2010
It’s a ritual as old as RoaringRiver itself. You’re working a spot – have been for 20 or 30 minutes – and some guy walks up right next you and first cast, BAM! He’s hauling in a fish that had been toying with you a minute ago.
This morning, Rick Bevenue and Mike Graves are those guys. Bevenue was wearing a lunker pin earned at Roaring River a few years ago. They’re Opening Day regulars. Bevenue is from the Liberal area; Graves from near El Dorado Springs.
“Opening Day, we’ve been coming 15 or 20 years,” said Graves.
