One of our past employees, Brett Humphries, is going to be here too.

Brett moved to Austin, TX where his parents live and he is doing well now selling real estate. Already bought a house.

He is also chasing Redfish when he can down on the gulf.

Well Bill, you may just barely dodge some rain this year, I just checked out weather.com and it shows that there should be a break in the rainshowers for Saturday...but I'll bring my jacket anyways.

Here's me crossing my fingers for no rain X X

Looks like it might not rain till after the event is over.

Hi Bill, and everyone.

Unfortunately, I will miss the "Big Event" this year, but I'm sure you will all have a great time!

Bill, you have quite a line-up of tying talent this year, and it looks to be another winner!

Were you able to stock up on Seel Fiber from Doug's Bugs?

See you all sometime soon!

Hey Bill and everybody,

I look forward to seeing folks tomorrow at Bill’s (Kiene’s fly shop) expo . My wife Dana will also be attending and she plans to do a little casting in what I guess will be a little women’s competition. She and I recently joined the ladybug fly fishing club which encourages women and couples to fly fish and participate in their activities. So far Dana and I are very impressed with the club and look forward to upcoming club fishing activities.

Nancy Zeigler, the club president asked Dana if she would cast for the club at Bill’s event so she said ok. Dana is not really into competition to much but this will be for fun. Here is a picture of her casting from her kayak up on East Lake in Oregon. Hope to see lots of familiar faces there. I know it will be fun.

Bill, if you would like to have a little Bluegrass Music there to share with the group there I would be happy to donate a copy of our band’s CD for you to plug in if you have a little sound system . I got pretty good reviews from Ken Hanley who I provided a copy for recently right Ken? Look forward to seeing you there as well Ken.

Best Wishes to all !

Bill

Hey Bill, It was great to finally be able to participate in your expo again. I can’t believe how the interest has grown in fly fishing from a kayak since the last time I’m brought my yaks to the Expo.
Bluegrass Bill, All though it was all good My wife and I really liked the Westphalia Waltz, Salt Creek and of course Hey Good Looking. Great CD, thank you very much.
It was great just seeing and spending time with everyone there.

Hey Rickey,

It was great to meet you and pick up a few more words of wisdom on kayak fishing. What kind of paddle was that again you are using? I would love to get out on the water with you sometime.

Glad you and your wife liked our CD. Westphalia is definitely one of my favorites on that recording as is Hey Good Lookin.

Best Wishes and tight Lines !

Bill
