I was planning on heading home, but I have a funny feeling that I'll probably end up on the futon. I have some corn-on-the-cob for the barby, and I'll bring some of the nectar too.

Bring your wading stuff , licence , and 6 wt. - I'm hitting the A. for Stripes/Steelhead in the morning and you might as well come along since you're up here (don't worry .... I'll cut us off before we hurt ourselves too badly :twisted: ....) . See ya ! David

I had fun at your place last night David. Thanks to you and your wife for the invite. It was great to meet a couple other board guys, PM and Jgoding and his girlfriend/wife Kristin.

It is nice to get togther with people you correspond with over a bulletin board.

I hope you guys catch some fish toay on the American.

P.S. the swap flies looked good, I will be copying some of those bugs soon.

A quick review of the BBQ ....

Adam , Jgoding (and Kristen) , and PM showed up , as well as an old family friend . My wife Candida and I had a FANTASTIC time with you all !! I can't remember the last time we had such nice guests and so much fun - you bunch are welcome back ANYTIME !!

PM and I hit the American around 2:30 p.m. on Sat. (we had a "Wee-Dram" or 15 and didn't get to bed 'till 5:00 A.M. :roll: ) and found the river jumpin' !! A total of FOUR Steelies hooked (skunk is off now !) , none over about 4 lbs. - hot fly was a #6 Whits Deep Sheep Shad on the swing .

BEWARE - a LOT of gang activity @ Glen Hall park , bring your favorite firearm and a friend when you go ..... 15-20 hoodlums screaming racial curses thru the parking lot and looking for trouble , you couldn't get a WORTHLESS Sacramento police officer down there for free doughnuts ....please be careful and carry a cell phone and a means to defend yourself .

The flow was at 4000 CFS and the temps were in the low 50s -

Thanks again to all who showed up , we'll start planning the next Q soon !! David

David, many thanks for the great food and hospitality on Friday. It was fun hanging out and getting to meet a few guys from the board. I had a good time watching you catch fish on Saturday, too! It was very educational to watch someone who knows what they're doing with a shooting head. Hope to do it again some time soon (but maybe without staying up until 5am drinking scotch).

I posted a thank you on another thread but here it is again. David thanks for hosting the first swap and for hosting the BBQ. I enjoyed myself, Gregg would have liked to make it but he had to work.

Thanks again Gregg

Well Patrick, if I had been up until 5 a.m. drinking Scotch, I probably wouldn't have caught much either. In fact, I probably would have been sleeping in a puddle somewhere next to the river. :lol:
