What the heck is Willi?

Hmm, I'm not going to even try that one...but the mold
definitely broke.

Did he just get plain fed up with this group?

Winter is usually a highly-OT time for ROFF. Maybe he's just
sitting it out.

Someone mentioned the lack of SJ Clave talk this year. I think
most regulars have overspent their fishing/travel budget this
year going to AK. I know I'm not available this winter for a
SJ trip. Tom, you ever visit NM?

Hopefully it'll warm up a bit in a few weeks here and I can get
out and search for some carp locally. For Christmas I got a fish
arrow and reel for my bow, so if they don't hit the fly, I'll
pull out the secondary artillery ;-)

Jon.

You will enjoy this then...

Well, the difference was that your beer was free..... At least from
our prospective..
Hey, since you're using that "privacy.net" email (and its interesting
to see where "me" has posted), please send me your email. I've got
someone who could use your consulting skills.

Kelly was ripping apart the old cabins when we left in Sept. I'm sure
they will be done by the start of the season. He did mention opening a
restaurant in the back of the shop, so it sounds like a done deal.

No I haven't visited NM yet, but I would like to fish with some of the
people in ROFF this year.
Check out the talent. Possibly the Yellowstone Clave or SJ.
fwiw,

Well, there's that.

Done. Thanks. My semi-retirement has been somewhat short on the
"semi" part, though, so I think I may actually have forgotten
*how* to work....

It's like riding a bike, no? g

That really brings back the memories. Panning out a bit gives a
good view of how the new homes and cabins are being laid out
along the river -- something I wondered about while fishing.

I notice the Slide Inn's web site is down. Perhaps they're
revising it to reflect the renovations.....

Very nice. I wonder how old the photo is. I have some friends just
downstream from Kelly's place. It doesn't show the recent building they
put in. Sure would like to have the lot next door to Kelly's. A measly
800K and it could be yours. ;-)

i received my annual mailing from the slide. kelly says he has finished
the construction/renovations. eating hall is attached to the back of
the shop where the old trailer was. he's hired a chef. only his
lodgers will be able to eat in his mess hall.

I will be in the Missoula for a good friends wedding on July 21st of
2007. We are planning two weeks, and we are going to try and hit
Tetons/Jackson, as well as Yellowstone. RIght now it will be me, SWMBO,
2 year old son, and the in-laws. We will have two pop-top campers, and
hopefully as little Griswald vibe as possible.

So if you had to pick one or two places to do a guided float trip in
July, and you had to pick between, Teton/Jackson area, Yellowstone, or
Missoula, what would you pick? I hope I'm not hijacking this thread...I
suppose I should start my own, but wouldn't it be redundant? Anyway
I've been talking to Kingfisher Fly Shop in Missoula for a float trip
on my Birthday, they seem pretty cool, but I haven't decided yet.

And maybe if some ROFFians will be in the area at that time we can hook
and you can show me some nice waters...

Thanks a bunch,
