David, Hair Stacker, Ed and All,

I just was looking at the calendar and was thinking of a weekend outing to the Delta for mostly LMB top water. The weekend of October 13/14, 2007 looks pretty good.

Now that we had one outing there at 107 degrees in July I figure we are experts now. Show be cooler in October.

Maybe a fly fishing tent city?

How does that sound?

Count me in .

Have you checked the tides for those two days ?

Hopefully ...... these will be close - I found them to be off by well over an hour at the start of August

Maybe I can check with Kevin Doran?

Bill, those tides are perfect as far as I'm concerned, making for a great morning and evening of fishing. Especially if dinner activities are planned early in the afternoon so everyone can get back on the water for the great high tides.

Mid October means that a good portion of the striper population will in as well, crease flies and white popper patterns should be in order and will probably snag both LMB and stripers.

I have customers on Saturday but will plan on spending Saturday night and fishing Sunday and will block it out. Please confirm the date ASAP.

Oh, one other thing, by mid October the crazies I saw this Saturday night on the delta should be parked in front of their TV's on the weekend watching the college and pro football games. The water's a lot quieter after Labor Day.

Any plans for any fly tying demos?

[Bill Kiene semi-retired]

Thanks Jerry

Kevin Dorin said we should not go any later than Oct 13/14.

I guess because you need warm weather for consistent top water LMB fishing.

David, We will have to let Lundborg's know our plans and reserve some adjacent camping spots.

Everyone is invited so bring the family if you wish.

The folks at Lundborg's are very friendly and it is not fancy, just laid back some.

Yahooo...........

Well, I'm definitely game! I too wouldn't want to delay it beyond the 1st couple of weeks of October. Looking at reports posted last year, I note I had a particularly good evening on October 9 but also seem to recall the topwater bite beginning to taper after mid-October.

Lundborg Landing is a nice spot. Very easy and convenient launching for those of us bringing personal watercraft and short, easy access into good water in Frank's Tract. It will be a blast!

The date will be October 13/14, Sat/Sun but some might actually come on Friday, October 12th too.

Just got off the phone with Jay Murakoshi. He will be coming too.

The Saturday before the bass outing, October 6th, Jay will be at Kiene's Fly Shop tying bass flies too.

We should have a big pot luck barbeque on Saturday evening.

I don't think you will want to miss this event.

David, We will have to let Lundborg's know our plans and reserve some adjacent camping spots.

Bill -

We should start a sign-up list in the Events forum , that way we'll know how much space to reserve . I'd hate to book , say , 5 sites for three days and have 2 other people show up ...

Plus ..... we will know how many to expect for BBQ (nice to NOT run out of Beers ....) .

David, I looked at the Events forum and didn't see a sign up yet! Count me in for all three days when you get it going. Is Saturday a Pot luck or what?
