Can everybody post their situation so we can pair up people.

Some will be in kayaks or small one man crafts and other like Charlie Gonzoles has a boat with room for one person.

Everyone needs to be in a kayak, canoe or boat. There is lots of great cover right at Lundborg's.

What about float tubes or pontoon boats???

This is pretty cool....I think it is just the start of a lot of great fishouts for our little BB. Lake and the Delta are great for fishouts because there is lots of room.

[Ben-doc]

My best efforts of the last 24 hours to change my flight out to Chicago from Saturday to Sunday have at last been thwarted, and I will be unable to attend. I am truly bummed.

I hope you all have a great time--so great that this indeed becomes a tradition and I can come next year.

[mikenewman]

Bill, I will be fishing out of a 16' aluminium skiff and have a spare seat up for grabs.
Mike

[Hairstacker]

Ben-doc, sorry to hear you can't make it. I'm sure there will be other opportunities. Bill mentioned October as another possibility, which I believe will be even better, as that is one of my favorite months to be out there.

Yep, you got it right Bill, I plan to bring my red inflatable kayak, though David Lee and I are planning to fish out of his 12-footer in the morning.

[Charlie Gonzales]

Charles Won may be with me in my boat but he wont be know for sure til thursday.

[Richard]

I'm using a 13 1/2' Tiderunner (15hp motor and a 55 lb thrust bow mounted trollling motor) which has two seats, but I think I have a guest coming with me, still unconfirmed. The boat will carry two, but I suspect it will only fish one person at a time. Unless you LIKE being stuck with a bug in your ear.

[dreamingincolor]

Its a sad day in Dale Smiths world... I have planned for weeks to attend the bug fest, worked on boat, tied some fair flies(beginner) goten cabover in shape etc. etc.
You guessed it Ihave a situation where my smiling face will not be seen at the bug fest. My business partner has a family emergency and will be out of state attending to family affairs, my office maniger is on vacation and with a 24/7 business duity calls and i must man the helm.
I hope everyone has a wonderful time and look forward to all the pictures, stories, and joking that such an event must create.
Good luck everyone!!!
Dale Smith

[Hairstacker]

That's a real shame Dale, was looking forward to having you join us. As in Ben-doc's case, sure hope to catch you at the next one.

[Bill Kiene semi-retired]

I think we can plan fish-outs for any month of the year.

I think we could try New Hogan Reservoir next for top water Stripers in August which is prime time.
