Western Conclave Update

Okay gents, I have finally put together a somewhat limited
information page for Mayhem on the Madison II. I'm still open for
other names for this conclave so if you have one, I'm all ears. :-)

I put links to various accommodations, the Cabin Creek FS Campground
that will be Clave Central, hatch charts, etc. I got off the phone
with the owner of the Slide Inn a few minutes ago (sorry Randy Kane,
I interrupted him while he was emailing you g) and he said that he
may still have a few rooms available for July. He is in the process
of confirming the reservations he has and cancelling some here and
there. I would advise you to call ASAP if you are still looking for
a place to stay as I am sure they will go fast.

I have a new email addy in case you guys want to drop me an email
with your questions. The yahoo addy will still work, but my primary
email addy is now at earthlink.net . Email addy and link to the web
page are in my sig.

I am toying with the idea of going out on a little fishing expedition
tomorrow up to the where the Clave will be. Kelly said that there is
about 5' of snow at the Cabin Creek Campground but that the fishing
has been really good with midge patterns (some of the ones I gave him
that were the SJ patterns that Bruiser told me to tie up). If this
weather keeps up, we very well could be having the clave during high
water levels and stonefly hatches so be prepared for difficult wading
and kick ass fishing. It will all depend on how spring runoff goes,
which I have no control over. Hopefully runoff will be over and the
stoneflies will just be hatching while you guys are here. It is just
an incredible hatch that I think everyone should fish at least once
in their life.

Snowpacks are already pretty good and more snow is coming so it is
starting to look like it very well could be a really good year for
snowpacks around the state. This could mean later runoff, higher
river levels, much cooler water temps and several other good things.
I'm really looking forward to the fishing next year if this pattern
keeps up. The rivers should be in prime shape and make floating much
easier.

The list of attendees that I currently have is:
Dave Martel
Jeff Miller
IJ
Lou Teletski
Tom
Charlie Choc
Tim Lysyk ?
Danl & Cindy
RW

If your name isn't on this list, please drop me a line with your
intentions. It makes it much easier for me if I know roughly how
many people are coming.
