Re: Idaho Fish-In Reminder
As soon as we decide what car we're taking I'll be getting the outfits ready (40mpg Hondo Civic or 22mpg Toyota). If its the Civic I'll be taking 3-4 pc rods.
I've not been to the Idaho fish in for a few years. I'm looking forward to it. As you mentioned....its one of the prettiest places on earth.
Re: Idaho Fish-In Reminder
Linda and I will be there. I'm bringing all my rods. She's only bringing a couple of sewing machines. Fly tying in camp when I have time and quilting in camp when she has time. We'll both have lots of time. What a beautiful place to take it easy. REE & VEE, we both look forward to seeing you both again.
Heaven is in northern Idaho the last week of September.
Re: Idaho Fish-In Reminder
Looking like the biggest ever. I look forward to meeting several new friends and renewing old ones. Don't forget to bring stuff to swap, sell or just plain get rid of. We will have the 'Swap table' set up all week. Remember name tags for your things too! We need a piece of 'foam-board' about two by four feet for the 'sign-in' board. (felt marker too) Volunteer, then let Denny or Ron know.
THANKS,,, DENNY HAS THE BOARD COVERED
Re: Idaho Fish-In Reminder
Re: Idaho Fish-In Reminder
I already have the sign in board handled.
Know of several folks that have told me they are going but have not notified LF to add them to the list.
It is important for me to know about how many are going. Please.
Big cook out will be on Friday night. BYOM (bring your own meat) Pot luck on everything else. Sodas will be furnished.
Z will be in charge of the barbeque. :lol:
VEE has some interesting Fly Fishing stuff for the Ladies
We will have Superman present, not sure of time, to be figured out early in the week
Accuracy casting contest (FREE) sort of like last year. I have not yet picked out the prize. (REE & I have casting flies tied)
Distance casting contest will have some limits on equipment. No shooting heads, no spey rods, nothing over 6 wt. Am thinking of using one rod for all?? (not belonging to a contestant)
LF & JC will be giving FREE casting instruction and there are several other qualified casters that will help you out if you want and need help. You know LF & JC are two of the best instructors ever. This is a real opportunity to get help and most of us do.
Les & Z will have info on where to fish these 3 great rivers. ( for those of you that have never fished this place before)
Must be something else I am forgetting but then I do not like to have too much structured.
Come and enjoy one of the most beautiful places in the World for Blue Water fly fishing.
See you all there.
Lets go fishin!!
Denny, REE, VEE & Les Young.
Re: Idaho Fish-In Reminder
Superman would like it if Denny killed and skinned a hackle bird at the FI. He did that once and we all learned so much. Superman asks,,, please. As you all know, this is not a commercial event, however when I feel a vendor has a product that will be a benefit to all, then I not only allow it, I encourage it. Such is the case with Conranch Hackle. I ask him to make available his full line and also educate us on the stuff. Oh, I also feel he is the top 'chicken guy' in the world, period.
Re: Idaho Fish-In Reminder
Humm,
The last time I processed a bird I swore I would never do it again at a gathering.
But with Superman asking I need to re-think things.
Most enjoyed it the couple times I have done a processing but it is not for everyone to watch. ( there is no blood)
I will take a look out in the barn and see if I might have one that would be ready for the ID FI.
If I remember correctly I mounted it on a drying cardboard like we do here at the Ranch, then sold it at a very fair price.
I make no promises at this time but think it may be workable if enough want me to do so.
I will be bringing some capes & saddles for all to paw through and ask questions, possibly sell a few if you find one you can not live without. Maybe one of the "New color" we have developed?
Thanks for your kind words JC.
Looking foreword to the Fish In.
Denny

Re: Idaho Fish-In Reminder
Will there be any Steelheading expeditions during the fish in?
Should I pack a 7 - 8 wt?
The first one I went to a bunch of us headed down river with Fishin Injun leading the charge. No one mentioned it at the next one.
