Long TR: Leaving the Letort

I left work early, four in the afternoon, making sure to buy the

Hmmm. Sounds like three violations of the company policies right there.

forgot paper plates
drank a bunch of martinis

Priorities are in order I see.

They all looked to be about ten inchers, plus or minus.
Surprisingly, they weren't spooky.

Yeah, Hot Creek in the Eastern Sierras of California is similar. When all
else fails or when everything has worked and you're interested in a final
cast at the end of the day try smacking the water with a Turk's Tarantula
or Chernobyl Hopper a few times. Once in a while you might get a little
surprise.

some of the reports we heard, the Breeches was an easier place to fish
than the Letort, and we needed an ego booster.

When fishing a new place it is sometimes worth it to stay on a river for a
whole day and watch it from sunrise to sunset. But I don't blame ya -
sometimes I too engage in hit and run fishing.

Nice report. Keep em coming.

wulf - went to b&n today...

Dangerous place. I never get out of there without paying a
substantial ransom.

bought jim harrison's "true north". it's set
in the u.p. p.14 mentions ontonagon.

Neither the author nor the title is familiar. Is this fiction or non?

thanks again....

You're welcome. You should do it again some time. I plan to head up
there with Jay in late August. Looks like Billy Books will be joining
us. With any luck, I'll also be able to shanghai Joel and/or George.

Been meaning to plug that book to the various UPophiles on roff.

You want to broaden that review, Jeff?

D'oh!

Looks like 8/26-29 might be best for me, though the previous weekend might
work too. You have any firm dates yet?

Jay hadn't picked one for sure, but 26-29 looks like the best
candidate. I'll contact him later today (as well as including this in
a message to be posted to ROFF later today) and see if we can firm it
up.
