I also had a great time this weekend. It started off landing a bunch of fish on friday with MO, 71gto, byahn and loganwade on the eastside. Friday night was another whole story, from folleys to the bar, to the floor of MO and 71gto's hotel room. Saturday morning came around too early, fished with byahn, MO, 71gto, loopy, kyler and also got to meet glen, again on the east side. Some fish were landed and had a bunch of laughs. Back to follys, awesome food and met a bunch more guys from the boards. Congrats to Loomis for winning and donating that rod to the youngster. Want to say thanks to Jack and skip for putting it on, also to Brian and everyone else who donated items for such a great time. Cant wait till next year.
The Lord has blessed us all today... It's just that he has been particularly good to me.

Yeah the whiskey got the best of me the night before lol. Had a great time fishing with some new guys and of course guys I have fished with in the past. Thank you mo for sharing your spot haha friday was a great evening on the water.
The moment of truth. Where all other things unconsciously melt away from our minds the instant a fish takes our fly. We stand there on the water with wide eyes, caught in a battle stance with an idea of confidence and hope

Logan,
You can share a drift with me anytime bud. Now the partying we need to establish some rules with, lol.
Byahn,
My pleasure dude. You are one hell of a fisherman. Only bad thing about you is you are friends with Krott. But everyone needs a charity case to take on, lol.

71,
Trying for one more?? Maybe, but for me it was a personal vendetta of trying to get my flies back from all the **** fish that broke me off. My one fly choice was based on the fact it was the only fly I had two of after Friday's slaughter, lol.

Ben it was nice to meet and get a chance to share some drifts with you. I'll be looking for you on the streams or in the fly shop. Nice job with the golden stone and flashback nymph. Yeah, it sure was a hell of a time over on 12 Mile. Mossy, 71, Krott, and Kyler, you guys were hysterical. Next year you guys need to come up on Thursday so we can party straight through to Saturday. But this time we're bringing Glen along. That dude looks like he can party. Hey Ben, I would've liked to have seen the guy on your left go for a swim. HaHaHa!

I had a sghting on friday night. We sat around the picnic table with a few cold sudsies. DT is a top notch guy. He spoke highly of your effort in learning to fly fish. Stay in his wader tracks and you will graduate early...I promise. He is just a good guy to be around...I got the pleasure to fish with him on a couple of outings, I look forward to fishing with him in the future. He delights in others success...he delights in yours so study hard.

Loomis,
We will hit Sansos when we fish YCTC. They have some pretty good Sopresatta as well as hard rolls and a good selection of micro brews.
