Just to put in a few "adders". "Denny" Conrad did FAOL proud, was a great representative for the web site as he was for his own fine product. Unfortunately, because of his busy schedule, we didn't get to do our normal dinner date at Club 178.

Old Parson Harry had a great show, with a surprize customer that showed up out of the "blue", and bought not only a rod, but Harry's new reel and line to go with it!! Go Harry!!!! Harry missed dinner as well because of fishing pressure.

Basye and I tied Sat. morning, and that will be a repeat situation for the years to come. She has put off her normal introversion and really enjoyed the stint at the bench in front of people... of course having a few ladies sit down and ask questions didn't hurt either.

We both had a great time fishing! The White was not generating the whole time, and we were 200 yards walk/wade from our fishing spots from the Airstream. Basye did well, and I got into some "dead serious" fish. Top fish of the trip was a 20-22 inch 'bow, thank you very much!

If you are anywhere close to Northern AR in the middle of March, this is a wonderful way to dust off that "cabin fever". Very reasonable accomodations, friendly people, and good fishing are a combination that is hard to beat.
