nice to hear from you Jeff- I haven't been fishing or Roffing much
lately either. Maybe next year the weather and schedules will be more
favorable.

see john...this is where the names can get a might confusing. jeffc
lives in raleigh...i live in greenville. he's the skilled
fisherman...i'm the stumbler/grumbler-fish-til-they-surrender fisherman.
i know he's been west a time or two, though i only recall his visit to
the henrys fork gathering. so, you've probably fished with both of us
(assuming of course that you are john h from missoula) at some point on
that trip, but with me more since we fished at rock creek and the
gallatin/madison/yellowstone areas. i'm the one who showed you fawn
lake's allure...g

anyway, again assuming you're that john...i too hope you'll get your
priorities straight and that both of us jeffs will see you next year. g

Ahh Fawn lake- now that was a trip. IIRC Jeffc has a cherry rod case
i built for one of the raffles- Rock Creek I think. But you are
correct, names and dates are blurry. I've been shooting a lot of
skeet the last couple of years for funsies. I try to do some fishing
in the spring before blow out- after blow out water temps have been
going up fast.

Did have a couple really nice floats on the Bitterroot, and one
exceptional float on the Blackfoot- same float we did on the Rock
Creek Clave- but it was much cooler and the Salmon flys were out in
force :-)

Major fires along Rock Creek right now, burning to the west of the
creek. Called the Sawmill fire complex. I believe you can still fish
the creek- hoot owl hours in force- but the road is closed to all but
residents and emergency vehicles.

I had hoped to make the proposed September in the park clave we
discussed last year, but alas it is not to be. Daughter Emily is
"with child" and is due mid sept. She is flying in today from her new
home in Kansas to stay with us for a couple months. Her husband was
transfered back to Missoula for a 3 month temporary recuiting post,
about 2 months after they bought their little house in Kansas.
