Just got back from Wyoming. Fished 5 days with Dave PA. We had a
great time.
Very fine trip. Caught some beautiful big trout. Dave slayed them on
the Madison
River. I couldn't even make a TR because it's so unbelievable.
Fished the Wisconsin river with Wolf and George Clevland about 6 or 7
weeks
ago. Wasn't as good as it was when you were there. On Sunday, before
I returned home, George and I fished the Praire River for those
beautiful Brookies just like you get in North Carolina. We caught
lots.
Still feeling pretty good for an "old fella" of 70 years and still
enjoying a good Martini..
Maybe you'll make the Penns Clave next spring. I'm planning on being
there.
Hope to see you then.
Joel


i trust you know the "old fella" was intended as humorous... albeit
true. g we all can only hope to reach age 70 and beyond with the same
vigor, humor, and intelligence as you (and my friend indian joe). did
y'all stay in the park? which section of the madison did you fish?

seeing you again is reason enough to visit the bug factory of penns.
perhaps you'd be interested in some sal****er foolishness or another nc
mountain trout adventure and head down this way sometime?
