Thanks for the offer, I'll try my best to take you up on it!
The only problem I forsee - so far - is that I work for the Browning
school district - I'm the Network Administrator - and it will be very
tuff for me to take any time off that week. May have to try and have
a busy day on Sun, the 5th.

Where are you coming from?
Near Seattle. We'll drive out Friday night and Saturday Morning,
trying to arrive before noon on Saturday.


Could you recommend some pike fly patterns that I could attempt to try
and tie? Any 'best' color combos?

My favorites are black and red, sometimes chartreuse, sometimes green.
The flies are tied large on 4/0 hooks. For a wealth of info, check out
Kevin Vang's pike clave home page:

There are a bunch of links on the flies page for patterns that work.
Also check out Barry Reynold's book, Pike on the Fly. With the single
exception of his reccommendation that you use heavy mono for a leader,
his book is great.
