Any ideas?

Hi Frank,

I was just over in North Park, north/west of Cowdrey at Big Creek
Lakes, last weekend. I had forgotten how much good water there was.
The Michigan, Canadian and North Platte and just oodles of others. I
hear they're catching huge trout in the Delaney Buttes lake this year.
There's a funny, well it's not, story. Here it is:

from just this week near there. They find this fishing guy who's been
missing partially submerged in the creek and he's alive but
hypothermic. Right up in this area.

Anyway, just a thought.

Your pal,

Tim

...and speaking of irrigation canals....oh, Frank...- Hide quoted text -

It was NOT an irrigation canal, it was more properly ... a ditch.
Meet some amazing people in the strangest places, but that's another
story.
