Thanks again to Bill. Your gesture made my day.

Good to see you around again Willi...you should have some great pre-
runoff TR's up there, no?

Over spring break two friends and I daytripped it up to the club lease
on our local spring creek (only 2+ hours away). Water was crystal
clear, I wish it had been a little off color. First couple hours were
slow, only a couple of 10-12" bows on small cream midges, but then I
found a pool of active fish and pulled 5-6 out, up to 13". A couple
other here and there rounded out the day. Since I was there last (2
years ago) another big flood came through, and it's interesting to see
what's changed and what hasn't. I lost ALOT of flies in the willow
trees (mostly double-fly-rigs, Larry). That trip was the first time
I've fished in NM since the last SJ clave (IIRC).

BTW, my summer trip plans will now _definitely_ include at least a
long weekend trip into the Gila. Nobody seemed to notice or care the
last time I posted this, but we've got a new unique fishing
opportunity opening up:

Airplane tickets to El Paso are pretty cheap...
