For being mini-clavemeister, cool brewski & snack provider. Very
enjoyable time. Lots of heads up, but fussy as hell. #32 would
probably have been too big. It was fun trying to match the hatch
till the guy came and caught them hand over fist on a piece of yarn
tied to a hook. I wonder if this is the pattern:

I used a #20 BWO Parachute and a #24 cream midge pupa, so it wasn't necessary
to sink to such vaguely unethical levels ;-)

I had a most enjoyable afternoon fishing with you, Gary and George, on the
closest thing to a spring creek MA has to offer. Thanks for showing me a
fabled 'secret spot' - especially a nicely cool spot to stay out of the heat
of a toasty July afternoon. Sure glad we beat the crowds to the river - I bet
2nd shift was packed.

Special thanks to Tim for the "Camaraderie Beer", smoked salmon, cheese and
crackers. Nice touch!
