I thought the cross-country detour to the second meadow via
what's-its-name lake was pretty cool. That lake could be good to fish
earlier in the season before it weeds up. IMO, you shouldn't have been
using waders and you shouldn't have carried so much stuff, but that's
your business.

Those damn flies were the only bad thing about the trip.

True, then again, I had not gotten the full info on the extent of the
trip. Lotta miss communication, a lot on my part. Just didn't ask.
(Insert whine of your choice here). I WILL be more prepared for the
next trip (and I won't run out of my meds before the next trip). Also,
I will not be using a pack designed for a 10 year old.
I would have loved to have a float tube on that lake. Looked like a
lot of fun.
I figured out how to stop the flies. As soon as I borrowed the head
net from Danl, the wind and rain came up and the flies went away. I
done scared 'em by going into proactive defense.
Good fission with ya.

Get yourself a water purifier bottle too. Got one this year, and it came in
very handy. Worked just fine, and didn't have to carry water with me,
lightening the load significantly.

BTW - thanks much for the Huskers hat. It made one of the shots posted on
Tim's web site (the cutt) and it was very lightweight, and breathable, which
came in handy too with the heat.

Didn't get to fish with you much this year, but I think it had something to
do with your recovery mode. Not sure if I will make 2007 or not. Was
planning on bringing the family next time around but the September date is
impossible due to school. Getting ready to hassle the traveling Clavemeister
on that one...
