Cool Chas, just kiddin' about the invite part..I'm fairly sure I would

welcome with you guys. But to tell the truth, without some guidance I

be totally lost on what to tie on my tippet...don't think those trout

like my bluegill poppers. :-) Nevertheless I'd like to give it a shot.

From the shots it looks like ya'll are armed with 9 footers, probably
5
wt?? I ain't gittin' any younger and I do want to attend one of your
claves.

We used anything from 6wt which I thoug a bit heave to 3wt which
everyone else thought was light. The key is to have a soft enough rod
to not break off the fish on a 5x tippet. I must admit that even my
Sage LL series 3wt was strong enough for me to break off a big brown
twice on the strike. Overeager is probably an understatement.

As for what flies to use, Bruiser has more of the right stuff than any
fly shop and is the most generous guy I've run into about sharing them.

The only technical reasons not to come is that you're unable to wade,
or you can't get there. I suppose the Juan would be a poor choice for
someone who hasn't learned to cast 30 feet yet, though Willi insists,
and demonstrates, that a 15 foot cast can produce a lot of fish.
