OHMA Bi-State Clave

Consider this post the official announcement of the Ohio - Massachusetts
Bi-State mini-micro-tiny-one-day-maybe-two Clave starting (and possibly
ending) on Thursday June 22. Right now it's just Bill Claspy and me hoping
the water goes down between now and then so we can flail at the trout along
the "secret spot", but everyone reading this (you know who you are) is
welcomed (no, URGED) to join us for some now infamous Eastern camaraderie.
We hope to get started in the early afternoon and fish until the sun goes
down. Anyone interested let me know. Other states can participate, but it
could make the acronym for the clave rather unwieldy.

There's only one "secret spot" and it's in Mass. ;-)

Are there contingency plans for flood conditions? I'm thinking Opa Opa in
Southampton.

I just found out today that I'll be busy during the daytime, but on the
Swift in fact. We'll be up at the 'stone rubble pile' turning it into less
pile and more 'structure' with a crane. I'm on documentary detail with
Steve but will probably be working crowd control at some point. You and
book-boy should come over to Enoch Sanford Road near rhe duck lady's place
and look for me before you get all committed. When the crane breaks for the
day (or if he cancels again due to mud) I'll be free to hobnob.

Will do. I can't speak for Bill, but I enjoy watching other people work.

You keep throwing nick-names like that around and someday they're going to
stick, you know.

Considering we may wish to meet some new roffians (the old ones are
rather stale), I guess I should state I'm talking about Westren Mass -
near the Springfield area.

You have an excuse but Claspy knows better. That's hex time in Michigan.
Y'all come there and it can be the MI-OH-MAI miniclave.

I do indeed, but work has me in Boston that week, and the MA boys and their
Secret Spot (trademark pending) are betwixt Boston and home, whereas the
mighty Au Sable is not. Michigan's waters, I fear, are safe from me until
September.

Almost worth the change of plans just so we can use that clave name!

Come to think of it, I can hear your accent saying "me oh my" and it does
rather sound like "me oh mah"... :-)

Have decoder ring, will travel,
Bill

Joel and I got a rather late start on our trek to north-central
Curdistan on Friday. As we approached Weyauwega on U.S. 10, long about
9:00 p.m., I was regaling him (for probably the tenth time) with the
tale of the time....."just about this time of year, and just about this
time of day".....when I ran into the Hex hatch, with a vengeance, at
sixty miles per hour. I timed the story (as I always do) so that I
could say "...ran into the Hex hatch right about .......HERE!" as we
got to the bottom of the hill. Either my memory is faulty or the bugs
have changed their habits. It wasn't till about five seconds later we
ran into the Hex hatch, with a vengeance, at sixty miles per hour. It
was a lighter hatch, though; we didn't have to stop to clean the
windshield. Nevertheless, the hatch is ON!

45 minutes later we stopped to fuel up in Stevens Point despite having
enough gas to make it to Merrill. I knew that the Plover river has a
terrific hatch and that the bright lights at the gas stations and other
establishments at the freeway interchange attract them in profusion.
We were not disappointed. Numerous bugs littered the pavement and flew
around us. Other patrons rolled up their windows and locked their
doors after seeing me flit about, grabbing bugs and photographing them.
They looked apprehensive.

There were also many other genera and species of trout food on the wing
and settling on every available surface. Entomologists should spend
more time at gas stations.

who knows that hexagenia limbata are actually smallish bats.
