I've had things come up here that are likely to keep me off the river until the following weekend, and based on the numbers story, I may not hit the SR until November, although it sounds like there are a pretty good bunch of steelies coming in with the few salmon.  Of course we've got a lot of water close to home that starts to turn on Friday and Saturday if the weather man is correct.  As today would have been the first job free day if my plans had worked out, I am not happy with all the work required travel I have coming up, but I am resolved to be out by next year.

i'll be up this week end and most others...its always nice to meet new people

OK  hadda change the 'will be there' post.
 600 miles round trip only to make a quick turnaround is  tough on the wallet and old bones but was happy to do it-
till seeing its gonna rain- Sat- Sun and Mon.
Heck cant get anything done at my place or even some decent fishing on a crowded weekend-
 As I am coming up for several days from Tues on anyway with the Wife that's  gotta be my only trip right now..
 Gonna miss  seeing folks.- had looked forward  on it.

I probably will be out for fishing, but if there is anything going on after hours so to speak I can run up.

Well I am pulling the plug on fishing this coming Sunday .
My apologies to those who made plans

Here's a update on my trip this week as I am home now for two days then back up Sun thru Fri.
We arrived mid day Sunday to very warm weather so we fooled around until 3:30 or so and then looked in the UFZ.Walked and fished a bit and caught a small brown and even smaller smallmouth.
Monday went to the LFZ and played with about 7 -8 fish for the day.
Tuesday is a blur and I don't really remember what we did....the golden years!
Wed went to the UFZ and after walking in,crossing the river and getting to where we wanted to go, I caught a 7" rainbow on the first cast,then made a couple drifts before I got stuck on a big rock.I started  yanking on the thing and working close in the current,I then yanked some more and got closer (too close) and bent my rod way too much and then.....SNAP.......my 4 piece rod became a 5 piece rod!So now I walk back to the truck,drive back to the room,call ShuFly rod Co. and they sent me to Fat Nancy's for a new rod for a $50 fee.Can't complain about that!By the time that got done it's pushing noon!After that we went to the LFZ for a couple hours and I played with a King.
Today we hit the LFZ and I decided to try for the Steel as the Kings were not in the mood.Went to 6# flora and a #10 nympth.Fished some fast water and landed one nice steel and lost 4 more.By 10:30 we were headed back to the room to check out and hit the road.
