I'd probably be up for it. SWMBO would be eager to visit our daughter & new grandaughter in the Twin
Cities. I got to fish the S. Fk. of the Whitewater, just west of Altura, few days this summer when we
went to visit our daughter & grandchild - I can take a screaming newborn only so long, even if it is
my first grandchild.

Cool.

Even though the fish I caught (all browns) were quite small by western standards (6-10"), I found the
fishing quite enjoyable and challenging.

That seems to be the general size down there. But I've seen a pool
with some very large fish in it that the rangers didn't much want to
talk about. Now this was years before I took up trout, so it could
have been suckers, I suppose. But it's a little hand made rock dam in
a place that few trout fishermen would be looking (too near the
tourist paths and the playground) and impossible to get to on one side
and possibly difficult to go to upstream and slanty and slippery on
the other side.

The brown hanging behind the ranger's reception desk is humongous and
the rangers say it was caught in the park. I didn't ask how recently.

There are mostly browns and rainbows, but some of the creeks close
around are supposed to have brookies, as is that 'expert' stream in
right in the Park.

The bird watching is so good there that sometimes I just go in back of
the station and watch the birds at the feeders for an hour or two.
Indigo buntings are so gorgeous.

Speak now with your 2004 schedules, hopes, and dreams. Of trout.
Trout, damnit.

My suggestion is to schedule the SE Minnesota 'Clave during Professor
Kevin Vang's Spring Break. If it's legal to fish then, of course.

No white space on my calendar before Friday, 4:00 p.m. After that is
o.k. with me.

I'm free all of the second half of May, though I could probably
stretch a long weekend in June or July. I suspect I can prevail
on Todd Enders to come also.

It looks like stream trout season opens in mid-April. Bass season
usually opens Memorial Day weekend, and there's some mighty fine
smallmouth fishing down there also.

I'll consider it, depending on the timing for my next trip to Great
Slave Lake.

so is this a sig or did I enter it like you said Gord did?

Not quite. It's in the right direction, but it should be an empty
space line or two below your post. Then you put in two dashes (not
underscores) and a space and another empty space line. Then your sig.
You can find out why about the two dashes and a space some other time,
just be sure they're there. And it still helps to put in the http://
before the www. Some people have old programs or programs that just
don't add the http:// automagically. (the sned below is intentional,
btw. Assume it's just because I'm a little eccentric.).

So if it were my sig, I'd be doing:

--
http://www.snedmeyourmoney.com
And then I'd add my name or one or two lines about my business. Not
more than 4 lines total. 5 won't get you flamed, but more will have
people just looking at an enormous sig and sighing or screaming. As
mine is a vanity page, I just put something I think it interesting or
clever below it. (Oops. 5 lines. Oh, well).

Well, it would be nice to have an general sort of idea of the proposed
locale......but aside from that, I think you've got it covered.

Whitewater State Park in SE MN. A pretty place where I even know a
few reputedly good spots to fish. Of the twenty to thirty rangers
I've dealt with there, only one was a dope, but he was a friendly
dope.

When is what I'm having a problem with. Can't be Memorial Day. June
is difficult because of the WI FFboard trout clave over in Ellsworth
the 11th to 13th and I'll probably be doing a canoe trip around the
third week with a buddy (though that can be re-arranged). Can't be
4th of July weekend. Been at a State Park or two for that holiday.
Other than that, I think suggestions from possible attendees are now
in order. May is pretty open, and, AFAIK, August is completely open,
September is fine until the season closes at around mid month. April
is iffy. Sometimes it's nice enough that wet wading is wonderful,
other times that river valley collects the cold and I sulk in my tent
or fish off the bridge where the worm dunkers like to be.

(Gah. I'm occasionally turning to look at the TV. There's a special
on rats on right now. Found out that white rats were bred first for
the pits with terriers to kill them. In dim light the blood showed up
better when the dog injured or killed one. And that's why when rat
research started, there were so many available that white rats became
the standard. Good, the channel switcher just went back to the
football game.)
