Jay,

Sounds good. You have enough experience there to definately help w/ a group. I just don't want someone taking 4 boats down the river and missing the take out ramp. Rowing for 3 miles in the dark isn't fun (done it). Hey, you were cleaning up on the soft hackle and making everyone else look bad!

Looks like me, Apla and JG are dark to dark fisherman. If Josh gets into the Pabst pretty hard, he'll be a 11 am guy w/ you and Jeff. We'll sort things out when we get there.

I talked to Coz and he's looking forward to having us come over and talking to the group. I told him about the raffle and the money raised would go to FUDR. He thought that was a pretty cool thing on our part and said he'd help by donating some stuff. Looks like we're going to go for a Saturday morning raffle around 10-11. Brandon is giving me his broken rod to send back to Scott. Looks like we may have a brand new Scott fly rod in the raffle as well. scotto from the forum is donating a chest pack. Anyone that's donating, PM me with what you're donating and I want to make a sign with the names and items donated so that the get the proper thanks from the winners. Should be pretty cool.

To be honest, I will probably get out there for one early morning. I enjoy fishing dark to dark once I get the morning momentum.

Andy-

Likewise, I have no problem helping with a group, either wading or on a float. Count me in for whatever type of help you need.

JG

Thank you George and sweet rig!

JayL...you are one of the brightest guys I've met! You can figure things out in a flash! Just starting for you equates to 30+ years experience for me on the learning curve!

I appreciate it, really. I'll do my best, but I can't guarantee, or even pretend to expect success.

Finding the takeout... that I can do!

Here Jdaddy I took a cell phone pic for ya on Saturday! He's a cute little West Branch fishy!

That is clearly a woman's hand holding that fish. What are you trying to pull young man?

Seriously, did you see many rise? Were they all squished up on the banks?

I didnt even cast a dry all day! If that tells you anything! The reason we didnt see much rising was because there werent any bugs. I caught 3 fish about the size of the one I posted and then I rowed the boat for the rest of the day!

Hey, jerseygeorge, could you email me before and after photos of your trailer? Well, I guess I will see the trailer next month, but it would be great if you could email me the above photo that I could make a little larger.
Thanks

What were they takin'?

1/0 white zuddlers with a size 10 white bugger trailer got fish on both! How's that for a meat rig?

Love it.

That sounds scary and kind of boring. No bugs eh? You should have had a nice overcast w/ drizzle. Didn't even see any olives? The fish were pushed up near the banks weren't they?
