Wonder if I will be the only one fishing a noodle rod with a fly?  Feel free to pair me with anyone you want.  Looking forward to this.  Will be my first fishing trip of the year for Steel.
 
 

I'll be doing the same . I like using the noodle to cover more water and not mind the crowds as much . Already got a taste last Sunday pulled 2 steelies from Lower Elk (1- 7lb hen , 1 - 5 lb male) . They are real finicky right now in the high water temps / water clearity but may be coaxed . Lost one fish to some tree branches. Tight lines - DC

Jack, this is going to be the biggest and the best. I,m with Gizmo(Tom) , I think. Can,t wait to get on the water again. Bring up the old rod so I can show it to Giz. Thats ok if it isn,t finished, never be used anyhow.  I,m going with a caddis. Slammed them last Jan. on them. No droppetrs allowed , right?

Personally, I don't really care if I catch anything or lose my fly. I'm just looking forward to a great time. And I promise I won't break it off in the parking lot. LOL

I'm not a newbie. I catch my share. If you want to pair me with someone inexperienced, that would be OK. I know places to go, and can haul someone else and their gear. The only fear that I have is that I normally go through a lot of flies, and I do not have any idea how I'm going to last very long. Give me someone young who can climb a tree for my fly!

Dream,
 
  That's great and I hope you have excellent luck!   Thanks.

I have joined up with eyeofhorus for a team. Thanks

Thats the story of my life! A day Late!

Here is todays Progress 
 

Could you let me know if anything happens and you need someone?  Do you mind if I come up anyway and observe.  I am new to fly fishing and love it and would love to share the experiences with pro fly fisherman like yourself. Thanks for you time.

Kildeer,
    I've had three people mantion a Jamie, Jamey, and Jamey in their replies so I picked one to match up with fishmonger (yours) since fish is very experienced and you said your Jamey needed a partner.  Is there a change? 
 
  PAFISHERMAN:  There is always a chance.  I'm sure nobody would mind if you followed and observed and asked questions.

Kildeer,
    Fishmonger is a very experienced fisherman who has a lot of good info to impart.  I am very glad he agreed to take an "newbie" and if your buddy Jamey pays atention he could very well wind up in contention.  I tried to match folks up acording to friendships and abilities.  Should be very interesting.

Indy, so far I have Inukshuk, Uncle Kevin and myself...sorry about the delay, I'm hoping to get another doughnut boy to join and firm stuff up next week. Thanks

LOL! Jack it is going to be great!  Still can,t quite figure what I,m bringing but I,ll let ya know.

You can do that don,t ya know!
It can roll cast across the creek rather nicely.
Right Skip? Lol
