I've been looking for an excuse to get out there for some time now and this is perfect timing. I still have to wait to see if I can get away from work for this, but I think I can make it. I've given a heads up to a buddy who is from there abouts, but has moved to West Kansas, but might be able to get out there too. We'll see.

I'm the person he is talking about here. I grew up in Pittsburg and have mainly fished the Big Brutus pit (Weir/West Mineral area), the pits just north of Pittsburg, and the pits just west of Pittsburg, all part of the Mined Land Wildlife area. I fished the Trout pit in the Weir/West Mineral area last fall, but didn't have any luck. I was going to attend last year, but I didn't have enough vacation time at the job I was working at. I now work 8 - 5 M-F, and have weekends off. I'm actually working in South Central Kansas now, but I drive back to SE Kansas every weekend. My wife says that we will be around that weekend, so I'll list myself as possible for this event, leaning closer to probable. I have a 2WT that is begging for some blue gill action, so I'm hopeful that I'll be there.
