A sad day for those who love hunting/fishing, the outdoors, good writing and arguing Colorado politics. Charlie was a good man, a great writer, and maybe the most infamous "hot spotter" of all time....
Sure good to see you again Diane. Have missed you since you took down FFT. Hope things are going well!

Bob,
Vent all you need too. In fact, I'd be glad to let you take a couple of swings at me it you thought it would help. I have been so very impressed with your compassion, and what a stalwart...
Glad to hear it Blue (I actually checked on you earlier today, but haven't answered til now). We did fine up here, only had about 3 inches of rain, though they are predicting more through the rest...
Hey Blue, looks like you guys had it rough last night, you doing ok?

Betty,
I agree with the sentiment reguarding naming dinner! But, even for the kids who will never again clean cook their own food, having some appreaciation for what "someone" has to do to bring...
It was really a lot of fun. The kids did great, even the young lady making the face in the picture. She wasn't too keen on the initial part of the operation, but by the time we were done she was...
Since Dr. Fish posted his latest published exploits, I thought I should share mine, even if they arn't quite so impressive.

Got this email tonight from the Wichita store manager
Well, I told you that I would be getting back with you about the details of our closing sale, so here we go:
THE ENTIRE STORE IS ON SALE AND...
that really does stink Ol' Blue. When ever I have someone in the hospital down in Wichita, which is at least a couple times a year, they get special visits from the pastor, just so I can go to...
A 5wt Forcast and box of flies are even now sleeping under the seat of my pickup. A pair of hemos and nippers hang from the rear view mirror. Who knows when you are out visiting the homebound and...
Greg,
Thanks for the report. I have enjoyed learning to fish (all over again) with you these last couple of years. Through your exploits I have been reminded of some of the great lessons that...
I have a great friend, Eli, who is African American and from Georgia. We told him that Lutefisk was scandanavian Soul food. Last year he and I finished off 5 lbs. by oursleves. Our wives thought...
Thanks for the idea's guys, especially the fresh report from Bennett Springs. Instead of dreading the trip to central MO, I am just as excited as I can be.
By the way Dave... no need to call me...
John, great choice for cleaning out your fly box.
I do what you describe basically every year. I clean out my trout boxes ever fall. First I have a small box of flies that I use for the Kansas...
Thanks for the tips folks.
Looks like I may have to run down to Bennett Springs...
In case it might help those who know the area, the motel - meeting is right off of the Grand Glaize Bridge, and I...
Hey folks,
At the end of the month I have to go to a confrence in Osage Beach. I HATE these things, and intend to attend only long enough to be seen and counted. The hotel is right on the lake, so...
Great to have you back Joe, Kansas just hasn't seemed right with you gone.
Ed
So glad you are back Rick... Hope you are getting the chance to torment those panfish.
Ed :cool:
I vacillate between carrying every fly I can possibly stuff into my vest, and only taking what I can put in a Altoids tin.
You can certainly effectively fish the Arkansas with about 6 or 7...
She has mine for sure.
Take good care of each other.
Ed
I am tying flies getting ready to go on a trip home to Colorado in a couple of weeks, and as I have been busily filling fly boxes I got to thinking about how difficult all of this must be for someone...
Guys, I am REALLY sorry, but I'm just not going to get my flys done. No excusses, but I appologize and hope this doesn't get me banned from all future swaps.
Sorry again,
Ed
Betty You are surely in our prayers too!
