Hope this is finding you all in good Health.
I now I haven't been on the ball with this all summer, but it's time to start posting again.

We are good for Saturday mornings from January 7th to April 1.
I also have him checking on our Early season planning meeting for Dec 10.

| This counts because the Yellowstone river was warmer than usual :-) |

| Paul and Scott out at the Ranch |

| Henry Hoffman (Yes of Hoffman Hackles)! |
Scott, You are busy! I thought I'd tell you that I went to the Albany Conclave last year and am booked for this year also. I had a nice visit last year with Tracy Peterson as he now lives in the area. He remembered you and others i mentioned. Please let me know if you are going to make the trip. I think you would be amazed as they set up at least 50 tables and feature some very good tiers. Of course, you would count in that description. Do let me know so we can get together if you are there. Lodging is not expensive. If you want you can fly into Boise and ride over with me-make travel cheaper.I do check into this Blog once in awhile. I'll get up courage and post pictures of my fishing here(on the dark side!).
