A shout out to my fellow Roffians

For one reason or another, I haven't been fly fishing much in the past 3
years. I do miss it, and I also miss the ROFF trips.

This is a little sappy, but I do occasionally daydream of trips past and
fishing exploits with some of my ROFF friends. It does make me feel good to
know it's out there, whenever I can make it again.

Hi Jeff - good to see your posts. I've only fished three or four times this
year myself and after each session I need a few weeks to mend. If anyone
asks, I do NOT recommend getting older. By the time you get smart enough to
know better, it's too late.

nice to hear from you Jeff- I haven't been fishing or Roffing much
lately either. Maybe next year the weather and schedules will be more
favorable.

see john...this is where the names can get a might confusing. jeffc
lives in raleigh...i live in greenville. he's the skilled
fisherman...i'm the stumbler/grumbler-fish-til-they-surrender fisherman.
i know he's been west a time or two, though i only recall his visit to
the henrys fork gathering. so, you've probably fished with both of us
(assuming of course that you are john h from missoula) at some point on
that trip, but with me more since we fished at rock creek and the
gallatin/madison/yellowstone areas. i'm the one who showed you fawn
lake's allure...g

anyway, again assuming you're that john...i too hope you'll get your
priorities straight and that both of us jeffs will see you next year. g

Ahh Fawn lake- now that was a trip. IIRC Jeffc has a cherry rod case
i built for one of the raffles- Rock Creek I think. But you are
correct, names and dates are blurry. I've been shooting a lot of
skeet the last couple of years for funsies. I try to do some fishing
in the spring before blow out- after blow out water temps have been
going up fast.

Did have a couple really nice floats on the Bitterroot, and one
exceptional float on the Blackfoot- same float we did on the Rock
Creek Clave- but it was much cooler and the Salmon flys were out in
force :-)

Major fires along Rock Creek right now, burning to the west of the
creek. Called the Sawmill fire complex. I believe you can still fish
the creek- hoot owl hours in force- but the road is closed to all but
residents and emergency vehicles.

I had hoped to make the proposed September in the park clave we
discussed last year, but alas it is not to be. Daughter Emily is
"with child" and is due mid sept. She is flying in today from her new
home in Kansas to stay with us for a couple months. Her husband was
transfered back to Missoula for a 3 month temporary recuiting post,
about 2 months after they bought their little house in Kansas.

great to hear from you again john. seems the rumor of your alzheimers
was a bit exaggerated as you've pegged us correctly g...btw, that was
a beautiful bit of work on that case the wrong jeff won in the raffle (i
think it was him).

so how many grandchildren will this one make? ...and we seemed so young
up on fawn lake, didn't we? g

i haven't heard from chas about the september trip, and now my schedule
is clogged so looks like i'll miss it this year. i was looking forward
to learning a bit more from you guys about the lake stuff.

keep in touch...the years seem to go by faster now.

Dang straight, I'm proud to own it, it's a gem.

Fishing Rock Creek that year was one of the best trips I've ever been on.

indeed i am... born of betty jane bailey miller in west runton, shire of
erpingham, norfolk county, england those many years ago...and the proud
author of the signature that has found its way to my favorite welsh
trout fisherman.

.... isn't it about time you found your way over to this side of the
pond? i expect we might even be able to get wayno dislodged briefly
from his femme focus and his effort to "change" all of guilford and
rowan counties should you accept our open invitation to sample fishing
in the colonies.

hope the hat wears well, and the ink in my signature adds to the warmth
intended with all the others. it was the best of times...
